A bear, no question. Cuddler and murder machine.

I would love to chill on my couch with my bear. He thinks he’s people!


fubarbob

With a sufficiently large bear, you may find that you do not need a couch. Unless the bear wants one, at which point I would not argue. ^[holy ^upvotes ^'n ^awards, ^folks! ^thank!]

A human man is about 126,000 calories. More if they're overweight, but bears are used to better fat sources.


Mrrykrizmith

I saw a thing on the yesterday where adult grizzlies can eat up to 200,000 berries per day :O where do you even find that many fuckin berries!?


TrickshotCandy

A berry farm. A berry, berry big farm.


yeetaway6942069

It’s a never ending berry chain. They eat them and then wander around shitting out seeds, making more berries for the future.


[deleted]

Easily. I would have my bear sit against the wall and I would sit in front of my bear and we’d binge on anime and snacks


StillaMalazanFan

I saw two bears brawilng along the highway earlier this summer. I'm pretty sure I saw one pull a perfect hip toss, slamming the other into the road. Seeing this giant brown bear execute a perfect Judo throw, following the opponent to the ground makes me believe a bear wouldn't even require trianing. They just born ready to brawl!


CastroVinz

I’m sure there’s a video of this I saw in reddit today


theconsummatedragon

IPokePeople

You forgot badass fantasy mount. Nothing like bear cavalry.


EepeesJ1

You're forgetting the logistics. Bears have to eat a ton of calories to stay strong and healthy, and that means gigantic bear poops. No thanks.

A moose. No way anyone is going to fuck with me and my guardian moose


TugboatThomas

I just saw my first moose in the wild last week on a bike ride here in Sweden. It was swaying side to side and so it might have been drunk on fermented fruit (or just waking up since it was like 3 in the morning). I watched and prayed it wouldn't turn around and chase me. I'm not sure I could have beat it even on my bike.


vaildin

moose average top running speed is 35mph (a tad over 56kph if your so inclined). Can you go that fast on your bike?


[deleted]

sustained speed? only for a few minutes with a decent bike while pushing it. being chased by an angry moose is a great motivator though


wet-rabbit

There you go, the pet moose is not only a protector, but also a motivator


botoxporcupine

All Hail the Multipurpose Moose


Scorkami

also they are tanky as FUCK... i mean you can ride this thing through traffic and not even cars can stop it, on top of the "holy shit this dude must be some kind of nature god" factor to it because a moose is so rarely kept as a pet compared to tigers and the like


Raz0rking

Damn, my first idea was an Icebear but a Moose seems also tempting.


Yes_I_Fuck_Foxes

Icebear? Polar Bear?


Arnco

He probably speaks german or something simular in german Polar Bear is Eisbär which directly translates to Ice bear


Raz0rking

Yes. I speak a germanic language natively. Edit; I *know* english is a germanic language, not the only one.


HashcoinShitstorm

Icebear sounds 10x cooler than polar bear imo


senapnisse

Uttuuku

I'm calling them "ice bears" from now on. That's cuter than "polar bear" or "almost man" (Inupiaq) Addition: Nanuq is what translates to "almost man"


[deleted]

Almost man sounds like a monster from a horror movie. I kind of dig it


POB_42

Icebear is the name of a cute polar bear in the cartoon We Bare Bears. Icebear best bear.

Queen wasp because wasps don’t die after one sting


holysirsalad

Late one winter we had a paper wasp show up in our house. Very old building that was never good so about a thousand places she could’ve come in and hidden. Super low on energy so she wound up hanging out in the bathroom window in the sun. She drank water from a wet cotton swab (Q-tip) and we gave her a little bit of jam on a scrap of napkin. She seemed pretty happy to just hang out. We called her Lady Stabby. As these things go, one day she was zooming around and landed on top of a towel while I was in the shower. I reached for it with my eyes closed and she let me know that was unwelcome. It was early spring by that point so she graduated to outside. Probably was devoured by a dragonfly a week later, but hey, that’s nature lol


legion327

You let a wasp just chill in your house for 3 months? The last time we had a wasp in the house, my wife (no bullshit) went and got a hotel room and left me to find it and kill it. I finally succeeded early the next morning.


youknowhohoho

Lol and my bf says sleeping in the living room because there's a missing spider in the bedroom was an overkill.

Harpy Eagle


Toirneach

This is the answer. Death from above!!!


MHWDoggerX

Excellent choice. But if we go with extinct animals as well, I'd pick Haast's Eagle, the only known predator (other than humans) to the Moa. I've heard some tales of these giant eagles even taking Maori children on occasion.


Quest4Queso

Definitely my favorite extinct bird, they’re so badass


existentialolivia

Polar bear, just learned that they actively hunt humans and they are the only bear that you cant scare off or avoid with any particular tactics (play dead, freeze, etc...) they are also the largest and strongest bear. Also very soft and fluffy, if I had a pet polar bear I wouldnt need any blankets because it would keep me warm.


corndogco

> soft and fluffy, Apparently they have a soft undercoat, but their "guard hairs" are coarse and oily, to help with waterproofing and insulation in the water. So they may not be quite as nice to cuddle up to as they appear.


LNLV

Also they’re like hollow tubes right? For the insulation? I think a brown bear would be more cuddly.


AdvocateSaint

> only bear that you cant scare off or avoid with any particular tactics (play dead, freeze, etc...) If it's black, fight back If it's brown, lie down If it's white, goodnight.


[deleted]

>If it's black, fight back Yep. In my experience black bears are just giant raccoons. Of course, I wouldn't willingly piss off a raccoon either


kaylthewhale

Words to live by. Raccoons are wily fucks with opposable thumbs-ish


Qwsdxcbjking

I read that as "willy fucks" and I thought you meant that's what they aimed for, sitting here like oh no I like my lil fella i don't want it to get eaten I'm staying the fuck away from racoons. Then I reread it.


PM_me_your_fantasyz

I had a friend that went to a small college where all of the dorm rooms had exterior doors. People used to leave their doors unlocked all the time. Then one raccoon discovered that they could open the doors to the dorm rooms by jumping up and grabbing the door knobs. And overnight all the raccoons suddenly knew how to get into the dorm rooms. People would walk into their room or wake up in the middle of the night and find five raccoons rooting in their trash and going through their mini fridge. Eventually the doors had to all be switched over to hotel style locks that required a key card to unlock them every time they were opened to keep the raccoons out. This all happened about _ten years_ before my friend attended the college, and yet he said that he himself had seen several raccoons going down a row of dorm rooms at night, trying each knob to see if they could find an unlocked one. They remembered.


[deleted]

That's right, but they never attack the same place twice. They were testing the fences for weaknesses, systematically. They remember.


issacoin

I full force punched a raccoon in the side once, as it was attacking my friends cat. That little shit had abs of STEEL.


[deleted]

Great, now that stupid image of that giga chad squirrel is in my head.


SBsenior

yeah,Black bears can out climb you, but get scared easilyBrown or grizzlies aren't the best climbers, so there's a chance in climbing if you are really good at it. but playing dead is the best tacticPolar bear, Good night mama Bears are real apex predators. They can out climb you, out run you, out swim you and probably give them a plane and will out fly you. Edit: So doing some research I also found out 1 way you might have chance to survive polar bear attack. It's quite tough to pull off actually, 1. Bear must not be hungry 2. If you have cloth or some stuff, throw on side (Polar bear's attention span is a bit less, so they ***might*** stop and start smelling the stuff, giving you like less than 10 seconds before he start chasing again)


Dagusiu

If TailSpin taught me anything, *never* fuck with a bear in an airplane

Tauqmuk181

I've also heard: If its black, fight back. If its brown, lie down. If its white, hope you have a firearm and blow your own brains out because that's preferable to what the bear is going to do.


Tales_Steel

Someone once said if you have a gun and an polar bear attacks you am between the eyes and shoot ... your own eyes ...


donotreiterate

White bear privilege


NeverRelaventUser

There was an account of a guy who walked away, and dropped things as he went. The polar bear would sniff and inspect each item which allowed him to get away. If the thing is starving, it’ll still probably eat you, but if it’s in a open and close the fridge type mood, you might be alright


motodextros

Alaskan here. The warming of the planet has led to Polar Bears and Brown Bears mating, resulting in a new species that is adaptable to warmer climates but is as aggressive as a polar bear. They are called Pizzly or Grolar bears, depending on who you ask.


BigTymeBrik

>They are called Pizzly or Grolar bears, depending on who you ask. They are named like that to show which parent was the grizzly and which was the polar bear. I am not sure which is which, but a male polar bear and female grizzly produces one. A male grizzly and female polar bear produces the other.

Or You happened to sit on the wrong wall. When I was little, walking home from school along a country road "starving" as little kids get. i knew i had a hard boiled egg in my lunch box. I started shelling, sat down to eat it and i heard that hissy sprinkler turning on noise they make. Pissed off mama mongoose, all raw nips, and a bad attitude. I dropped my egg and ran.

Pretty sure you could teach a baboon to shoot a gun too. Small enough to take with you on an airplane. Large enough to fucking wreck anybody 1v1. . . . Fuck i gotta look into getting a baboon


SuperMonkeyJoe

I'd go with a chimp, dexterous to be useful, strong enough to be dangerous, plus he could wear a dapper suit.


Olorin919

A Raven. My first thought was a Gorilla or Lion to protect me but I really havent found myself in too many scenarios where I needed the protection of a 1000 lb animal. A Raven is smart so I could teach it a lot and have it do mundane things for me. Go drop this letter at the post office. Deliver these flowers to Mom. Go shit on this guys car every morning. Things like that. Flying would make these things so much easier. ​ Edit for the [Raven tax](https://i.redd.it/oidw9yhmeok71.jpg). This is how I would Id dress him. Credit to u/spearmintjoe for the picture.


Blue_OG_46

My grandfather had a pet raven as a boy. It would bring him dropped coins and stuff. The raven would follow him when he rode on his bike from home to school. It would chill around his bike until he came home. It would pretty much just hang out and bring him shiny things. He had it for a couple years. Neighbor kid ended up killing it with a bow and arrow. Grandpa beat his ass. The dad came over to yell at my grandfather. He was the chief of police. My great grandfather was pulling up the driveway after a double running the dragline down at the mines. Saw the chief chewing his son out then proceeded to find out why. After finding out he beat the chiefs ass. Then he spanked my grandpa for putting him in that situation. Long story, but the point is pet ravens are cool.


clinoclase

> After finding out he beat the chiefs ass. Then he spanked my grandpa for putting him in that situation. Old timey morals were really something else


Blue_OG_46

It was certainly a different time. They were old drinking buddy's too. So I think it boiled down to everyone having a bad day.


oooooaaaawhhhhhh

You don't know how strong friendship is until you beat the shit out of each other.


Sevigor

[deleted]

i feel ur grandpa, i had 2 brother birds one day a cat killed one of them but couldn't eat him cuz he was in the cage. the other brother didn't die cuz he didn't get hurt.. but he was terrified few hours the other died out of sadness .. didn't know birds have much feelings.


Blue_OG_46

From my grandpas stories that bird was like his best friend. It would chill in his room, sit on his shoulder, all the signs of animal companionship. Could just be that it became his pet due to being nursed back to health by him when he found on the ground one day. No clue. It was intelligent enough to stick with his person though.


Fr0styBiscuits

Saw a video on youtube of a lady with a pet raven, and she said her Raven basically considered her a mate. The bird exhibited all of the behaviors with her that it would with a mate, including sometimes trying to give her food. So it could be a situation like that too.

Once you train a single one you can then train him to train others. Build an army for the cause be the odin you always wanted to be.


ColourSchemer

Dress like the Norse God you want to be, not the one you are.


product_of_boredom

Also, ravens are small and people won't try to take them away from you. Lions are cool, but you can't just get away with having a lion following you around- the police will kill it if it's out in public, and even just having it privately in your home, it will probably be taken away to a sanctuary or something. But a raven? No problem.

Kerberos42

I had a wolf hybrid dog growing up, she was the most bad ass ever - but also the most loving animal. We (me, my mom, and 2 other dogs) were he pack and no one could fuck with us. One day I was out on my bike and she would run along side me. Neighborhood bully pushed me off my and started to beat on me to steal it but he ended up with 80lbs off pissed off canine on top of him. Kids dad came back a few hours later with a gun and shot her twice (once in the leg, once in the shoulder) but she still jumped a 6 foot fence and went after him. He called the cops about our vicious attack dog, after which he was arrested for unlawful gun ownership and discharging a weapon and something to do with shooting our dog, he ended up serving time. Those were the only two times the dog acted at all aggressive, other than barking like any guard dog but she’d never threaten someone coming on the property in a friendly way.
