Is that Minecraft server still online?
Oh lol. I didnt even see that when i googled for the steroid horse
We had this question in a board game where the other people have to guess what animal I would pick. I opted for a herbivore - goat or sheep or something. I can only remember one other answer and that was my 7 year old son who quite brilliantly thought I could take a sperm whale.
Maybe on land.
Herbivores can be more dangerous than carnivores because when they fight or flight it is for their lives and carnivores don't want to be injured while killing.
A panicked deer will destroy you if it happens to flee into you. Not because it is trying to harm you, but because it weighs a lot and is flailing around like a madman. A goat would do some damage, especially if it gets a chance to head butt you and decides to follow up.
Do. Not. Fuck. With. A. Moose.
I can wrestle a modestly sized gator on land. I know I can catch certain nonvenomous snakes. Catching turtles and tortoises is pretty trivial, aside from snapping types.
Size really does count for a lot. So does a creature's inability to bend enough to bite you if you grab it a certain way. Finally, how willing are you to deal with some pain? Because you're probably gonna bleed.
I could take a sloth. Probably.
I'm betting on the sloth.
Those dudes got claws and natural armor. Like, armor made of nature.
Def not a squirrel, those are too fast. Maybe a smallish-medium fish and prob a goat
I won't lie about your odds, but you have my sympathies:

Tiny dog breeds, depending on how hard it bites. Maybe a chicken but definitely not a rooster
