wolf
狼 centers on the animal wolf, a wild canine known for its fierce and cunning nature.
狼 combines the animal radical 犭 with 良, which likely contributes the sound. The character specifically denotes a wolf.
The animal radical 犭 hints at a beast, and the right side 良 looks like a good (良) but fierce creature. Picture a wolf that is good at hunting.
For ロウ, imagine a wolf letting out a low, rumbling growl: low -> ロウ. The wolf's low growl echoes through the forest.
