There's Advaita Vedanta in Indian Philosophy which talks about non dualism. Is there any similar variation in western world?

Yes, Totems.

Though I'm not sure how western that really is. Basically one animal stands for one character trait. There is many of them, and they aren't naturally ranked. There's Tiger, Rat, Bird, idk what...

Also see chinese zodiac animals for a similar concept.

Also, here's a picture from Ovid's metamorphoses:
