That's the Shadow.
In Jungian psychology the Shadow archetype contains the repressed, instinctual, dark, and animal side of the psyche — the life‑instincts and impulses a person denies or disowns. In dreams it commonly appears as monsters, dragons, demons, wild animals, or other dark figures and signals material that needs to be acknowledged and integrated.
