There are a number of ways to show off a character as a badass; catching bullets with their hands or teeth, walking away from an explosion without flinching, defeating a large number of enemies all at once easily come to mind. But one of the more interesting ways is to have a character engage an animal in melee combat. In Real Life, engaging an animal in close quarters is incredibly risky, especially unarmed. In fiction, it's Rule of Cool. The character may use close range weaponry or fight unarmed. Long range weaponry, traps and poisons will not be used as this is a test of strength and skill against a beast of nature. They don't even have to defeat or kill the animal either. Fighting it to a draw or even surviving the experience would be considered impressive enough. This might be a form of Training from Hell. It may also happen if the character is a Thrill Seeker or it may be them simply acting in self-defense. Often a display of Charles Atlas Superpower but a character with legitimate Super-Strength can also qualify. Contrast Kick the Dog, which may involve a character attacking something much smaller and weaker than themselves. See Hunter of Monsters, Demon Slaying and The Dragonslayer when the creature being fought is a little or more exotic than a regular animal. May result in Nemean Skinning. Compare or contrast Bad People Abuse Animals. Can sometimes overlap with Beastly Bloodsports. The Boxing Kangaroo is a possible opponent the human may face. This trope is also basically The Worf Effect as applied to animals. |

Digimon: The show has had more extreme fantasy versions. Digimon Adventure 02: In "Dark Sun, Dark Spore", Yolei whacks a LadyDevimon with a skateboard. Digimon Tamers: In "Divided They Stand", Rika stabs a Harpymon attacking Renamon in the back with a tree branch. Digimon Data Squad: Unlike most Digidestined who leave the fighting to their Digimon partners, Marcus Daimon frequently fights Digimon with his bare hands, both because he likes it and because he needs it to start his DNA load. Remember that Digimon are powerful beings with a large number of naturally equipped weapons and armor, with some capable of obliterating cities. |

The Simpsons: In "Marge Gets a Job", Groundskeeper Willie saves Bart from a startled Alaskan timber wolf that wanders into the school grounds. He grapples it into submission, and a later shot shows him sitting under a tree with the beaten-up-looking wolf, pouring some whisky into the palm of his hand for it to lap and telling it "Don't feel bad for losing, I was wrestling wolves when you were at your mother's teat". In "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", Mr. Burns fights the Loch Ness Monster. |

McNair survives the fight and kills the wolf, at the cost of inheriting the lycanthropy curse himself, and later becomes a vampire hunter who regards the strength and resilience his lycanthropy grants him as a curse that makes dealing with other supernatural creatures much easier. | |

In the early "territory days" of Professional Wrestling, it wasn't uncommon for a promotion to have their top travelling stars wrestle (usually de-fanged, but still very real) trained bears, sometimes multiple nights a week. Stu Hart, father of WWE superstars Bret and Owen, is known to have had one by the name of Terrible Ted that lived underneath the porch at his training center The Dungeon. Ted himself was apparently not so terrible, even being known to lick ice cream off of a young Bret's feet, but he and other famous trained bears were still unbelievably strong, and could easily break bones and shatter skulls even without using their claws or teeth. For obvious reasons, this has fallen out of fashion in the modern day, but there are still many wrestlers who look back on these experiences with a mix of nostalgia and horrified awe. Hear "Dirty" Dutch Mantell relate his experience working with a bear in East Tennessee here. | |

Baki the Grappler: Being an over the top Fighting Series where even weaker characters are closer to Humanoid Abominations than to normal humans, the manga features many characters who have done this either to challenge themselves or simply to demonstrate their strength. Just a few of the examples include Baki fighting with giant apes and Garland beating an anaconda to death at the Maximum Tournament. When a very minor character at that same tournament boasts about having wrestled with a wild lion, the other character he's speaking to wonders if the first guy is so self-interested and short-sighted that he doesn't realize that every competitor at the tournament has sought out some sort of similar challenge, and that the attempts at Trash Talk and intimidation just come off as pathetic. Doppo Orochi gained his moniker of "Tiger Killer" from fighting one in a match. It is deconstructed, as he admits both how unbelievable it is and how he killed a member of an endangered species to look cool, making it an In-Universe Old Shame. |

It is never quite clear if the part of fighting bears was real, seeing that he is a very competent player and practices snow sports. In Episode 31, the Inazuma Caravan is attacked by a black bear during the team's trip to Hokkaido. Fortunately, Fubuki knocks out the animal. |

Devolution: Fighting a Sasquatch (and ideally, winning) is the mark of an Action Survivor, no easy feat given how strong such creatures are. Mostar, Dan, and Kate all adjust relatively quickly to the challenge. Carmen and Effie eventually join them. Although all of them except Kate die in the novel itself (with the possibility that Kate is dead, too, by the end), they manage it with far more dignity than Bobbi or Vincent, who are incapable of fighting back (although, in their defense, they are the first to meet horrible fates), or especially Yvette and Tony, who cower in their house. | |

Hajime no Ippo: While at a training camp in the forest, Mamoru Takamura was attacked by a black bear. Although he received several injuries, Takamura fought back and defeated the animal with a Cross Counter. He let the bear live when he saw it had cubs, but it was still killed later by Ginpachi Nekota who served it as dinner to the boxers. As a sign of respect to the bear as well as an Intimidation Demonstration before getting in the ring, Takamura chose to wear the bear's head and fur. | |

Tekken: Kuma is a bear trained in martial arts by Heihachi Mishima, who adopted him as a pet and later made him his bodyguard. Kuma was defeated in the first King of Iron Fist Tournament by Paul Phoenix. His son Kuma II became a rival for Paul. This applies in gameplay for player characters who fight any of the animal characters in the game (Kuma, Panda, Roger, Alex and Gon). |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Faith mentions having wrestled a vampire's pet alligators in Missouri while discussing her previous exploits with the Scoobie Gang. Buffy normally relies on melee weapons when fighting monsters and has even killed a few of them unarmed. Examples of the latter include beating a cobra-like demon to death in "Shadow" with her bare hands and snapping a Suvolte demon's neck in "As You Were". |

Street Fighter 6 introduces Marisa, an Italian Pankration fighter of Greek descent who is shown wrestling a fully grown lion to submission in World Tour mode. |

Artemis Fowl: The first book sees Butler take on a troll (one of the deadliest apex predators of the fairy world). His first attempt at shooting it with his Sig-Sauer pistol goes poorly, as the bullets lack stopping power against the troll's thick hide, and it quickly closes the distance and gores him. After being healed by Holly and a chance to re-evaluate his opponent, he tries again, this time donning a suit of armor and wielding a mace — and delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle that quickly reduces the troll to a quivering mass of shaggy fur. | |

Beast (2022). Subverted nn the climax. Nate runs out of shots and decides to lure the lion away from his daughters, eventually getting tackled and brought down. His punches and kicks do nothing but annoy it, and it's mostly down to luck and the lion's previous injuries that he survives long enough for the lead males of another pride to arrive and attack the intruder, letting him crawl away. | |

EXTRAPOWER: Giant Fist: Part of what shows off Zophy's Charles Atlas Superpower - unlike most of the other player characters, Zophy can deal with the rampaging animals' Get A Hold Of Yourself Man fights by simply grappling them and flinging them around as easily as he can human enemies. Even when they're gorillas, magical fire bears, or fully sized rampaging elephants! Smaller animals like fish, rats and snakes are gently placed on the ground. | |

Gravity Falls: Invoked in "The Land Before Swine". Grunkle Stan lies to Mabel about fighting a Pterodactyl that captured her pet pig Waddles under his watch (in reality, Stan set the pig outside so it wouldn't disrupt his business.) Eventually, while searching for Waddles, the truth comes out and a very angry Mable gives her uncle the silent treatment indefinitely. Thankfully, her respect for him is restored when Stan ends up having to do this for real in the episode's climax. | |
