When ~ dies, return it to the battlefield. It's an Aura enchantment with enchant creature you control and ": Enchanted creature gains indestructible until end of turn," and it loses all other abilities.

Every year Watchwolf gets just a little more antiquated.

Not in Wolf tribal it isn't...

The text on this feels clumsy. Is it saying Bronzehide Lion loses all other abilities, or the creature it’s attached to? if it’s the former, that last bit of text seems unnecessary since creatures die, not auras - so “all other abilities” wouldn’t work anyways, right? Doesn’t die as a technical term only apply to creatures and Planeswalkers?

Feel like this could be worded more elegantly...

I believe it is there so it doesn't protect itself with the first activated ability (which may be relevant for Bogles).

"Dies" just means "put into the graveyard from the battlefield". No rule says enchantments cannot die, only convention in templating.

Aslan died? But if I wear his skin I become Aslan?

The Nemean lion had near impenetrable skin. Heracles strangled it and made armor out of the skin. (He needed to use the lions claw to cut the skin when making it into armor)
