If Oderus Urungus had his Cuddlefish of Cthulu in my avatar, All would bow to my power. But since it is the family friendly Oderus sans CoC, then I’m just a guy wearing foam rubber.

My seagull would bravely take on all opponents. And win handily. Obviously.

Or perhaps not. But she could at least drive most people away with her annoying call.
