Commentary on the radical "犭" or "犬"
Many of the kanji with the radical "犭" or "犬" is related to various kinds of beasts (animals) that resemble dogs.
"犭" is the form of the word "犬" when it is radicalized to "hen".
I note that although "犭" or "犬" are separate radicals now, they often share the same meaning, so they are explained together.
e.g.
獣 → 単 + 犬
The "単" represents a bullet bow.
It represents the prey, the means beast, when hunted with a dog and a "Bullet Bow".
猛 → 犭 + 孟
The part of "孟" means to criticize.
The two together represent a dog that is a nuisance.
From there, it expresses the meaning of fierce.
