8. Panda: 8.5/10
Not a just panda, but an entire mood.
Panda scores an impressive 8.5/10 on my completely arbitrary scale, not just for being an oversized stuffed animal come to life, but for being the embodiment of "don't judge a book by its cover... especially if the cover can punch you into next week." This not-a-panda panda walks the fine line between adorable and formidable, making you question whether you want to hug him or run from him in a scene. His presence is like finding a teddy bear in your closet that can also serve as your personal bodyguard. It's this delightful paradox that makes every one of his appearances a cause for celebration—or concern, depending on which side of his fists you're on.
But why, you might ask, does he not score a perfect 10? Well, let's be honest, maintaining that level of fluffiness while engaging in high-intensity battles is no small feat, and sometimes, just sometimes, we wish he'd use his unique position as a sentient animal to infiltrate enemy lines disguised as a harmless zoo escapee. Imagine the tactical advantages! Plus, his sense of humor brings a lightness to the grim realities of fighting curses, serving as a reminder that even in the darkest times, finding a reason to smile is invaluable. His combination of humor and fierceness is like watching a nature documentary narrated by a comedian - you're not sure if you're learning or laughing, but you're definitely enjoying the show.
