scariest animal you could probably kill in a fight

SCREECH OF THE FARGSCREECH OF THE FARG #1 PARROTHEADmargaritavilleRegistered User regular
see topic. no ranged weapons (guns crossbows etc, but you can throw a rock or something. not a grenade dont be cute). stuff like a knife is in my opinion fine IMO. you are wearing climate appropriate clothing.

i definitely think i could kill a fox. im not stupid enough to think i could take a wolf or a bear ofc.

stuff like birds of prey are weird, i think if they get me by surprise then they just slit my throat in a divebomb type manuever but i can't imagine that a falcon's ribcage could stand up to a hard kick from an adult human. so its really a matter of who gets who unawares.

i could definitely defeat all rodents. hbu?

    does it have to be like, a stand up fight? cause i bet it's not too hard to poison a moose or whatever

  • ChicoBlueChicoBlue Registered User regular
    Probably a hippopotamus.

    I'd simply offer it all of the marbles it could eat and then wait.

    i think if you can slip away thats your advantage to make use of. but i don't think you get to show up with industrial moose poison in your pocket. OSP

    I could probably kill all spiders.
    I'm not sure if they're the scariest animal, but they're pretty high up there.

  • chromdomchromdom Who? Where?Registered User regular
    This is one of those topics I think about on my own, probably more often than anyone needs to.
    I'm pretty certain I could take a reasonably large dog. If I had good-sized knife or some and were in an enclosed space, I'd be fairly confident in taking down a small deer or antelope, something along those lines. Pretty much any domestic cow, don't care how big.

    Oh wait, it's how scary, not how big. Ok, yeah, back to reasonably large dog.

    oh yeah lol. i could probably kill people. i mean its a mirror match really

  • durandal4532durandal4532 Registered User regular
    I feel like there's an important distinction between "could kill" and "could kill without also dying". Like if you stab something a few times it might die of an infection, right?

    I stand by most healthy adults being able to take on all flight capable birds. Their bones are just too weak to take a solid hit from a mammal

    The Scariest part of this prompt leads to all arthropods. Lotta folks scared of spiders, fully capable of stomping down on one.

    i bet i could kill a king cobra, that's pretty scary right? almost certainly not going to survive that encounter, but the venom takes enough time that i should be able to get a killing stab in there.

    A below average human. Like a Mitch McConnell or maybe an Alex Jones if the latter isn’t so hopped up on amphetamines as to be functionally unkillable.

    I could beat a panda in a fight. I would just dress like a super sexy panda and it would be like, "Fuck, am I expected to have sex?" and it would die on the spot.

    I feel like your plan has one significant point of potential backfire that you may not be fully appreciating.

    I admit I've become even more of a softy as I've gotten older and I don't even like killing like 98% of bugs

    Even bugs get a chance before they're actively biting me or like, hanging out in my stuff, trying to live on my phone screen, and I feel bad about it

    I think I'd have to feel really seriously threatened to kill anything that isn't immediately triggering my "ah heck that's a creepy thing!!" response

    I could kill a small to medium octopus.

    I don't want to. I would not relish it. But I could do it.

    Bullfighting seems fun. So long as I had the sword. That's probably the most common one on one fight between a human and larger animal where the human wins.

    Hunting boar seems doable. Preferably with ye old boat spear. But a knife would be acceptable. Would be heavily in the boar's favour as that was generally done in groups and on horseback and even then the boars regularly killed knights and noblemen.

    Umm, without any weapons all? I'd say dog. Fun fact: it's 100% legal to kill a dog in NZ if the dog is attacking a human, native wildlife, domestic or farm animal.

    I know lots of unarmed tips for dealing with larger animals, but they're not really about winning so much as more "how to survive the encounter with most of your limbs".

    But I don't want to kill any animals.

    I would just run away. Wait I don't like running. I would simply take a bus away.

    Pretty sure I could kill a lion.
    I mean, if it got high cholesterol and fatal heart disease from eating my greasy corpse, that still counts as a draw, right?

    Are we fighting on their turf or mine? Because there's like a billion scary things in the ocean that if you brought on land I think I could take pretty easily. All that deep ocean shit that's evolved to an environment with no light that look utterly alien. If we're fighting in the ocean nevermind, I'm not a billionaire I ain't going down there.

    If I'm gonna kill an actual animal and not just a right wing dipshit I'm gonna need to know that the animal is a serious piece of shit. Like, it's gotta be a real rank asshole, otherwise I don't think I'd have the heart.

    Ah fuck well in this case at minimum I could take a sloth that is wielding a knife, I think realistically I've trained most at hand to hand combat so anything with serious fangs is probably out, could maybe fuck up a primate so long as I can get a good grapple in?

    So getting the animal to give up and go home, before randomly turning up at its den and beaning it with rocks so it can't sleep and eventually karks it counts, right?

    I'm actually way more scared of other primates than anything else save like, very big canids, cats, or animals just fully larger than I am.

    Primates are fucking vicious and they are shockingly strong. Chimps have strong enough grips to literally rip you apart.

    I would put Bigfoot in the Sharpshooter, yeah. On a moral and emotional level, I’m okay with that.
