* Shasta/Cor jumping off Bree's back (who, despite being a war horse who's ''been through a thousand battles'', is too scared out of his mind to do anything but run) to face down a ''freakin' lion'' who's actually Aslan, (''the god of all creation'' in Narnia!) chasing Aravis and Hwin. [[WhatAnIdiot Don't get me wrong, it's a stupid idea that even the narrator calls "idiotic"]], but it proves Shasta's devotion to his friends, as well as having balls of dwarf-forged steel. Note that he's about ten years old and completely unarmed, so that the best thing he can do is yell at it. Pure Awesome.

* When the Narnians realize that Rabadash won't let them leave the city unless Susan marries him, their first idea is to barricade the door and fight the entire [[TheEmpire empire]] with a total force of maybe ten guys, including a faun, a raven, and a ten-year-old. The only thing that puts them off the LastStand is [[GenreSavvy the prospect of the enemy]] [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim burning the house down]]. Then the one who comes up with how they get themselves out of this particular situation and away from Tashbaan isn't King Edmund, the raven or the other humans, but Tumnus the faun - and it's actually a very cunning little plan too.

She is a daughter of Calormene nobility with impeccable court manners, and undoubtedly she was raised to see the Tisroc as a PhysicalGod whose judgments are never wrong, but she never uses the phrase "may he live forever" again.

** And please note that he's about ten-years old and completely unarmed, so that the best thing he can do is yell at it. Pure Awesome.

* Aslan gives Rabadash a chance to escape the HumiliationConga he's setting himself up for: "Have a care, Rabadash. The [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom doom]] is nearer now. It is at the door, it has lifted the latch..." (Performed to ''marvelous'' effect by Anthony Quayle in one of the audiobook readings.)
* Prior to that, Rabadash jumped from the top of the wall of a castle... but he gets his chainmail shirt caught on a hook, and hangs there, stuck. Later, while a captive, Rabadash again threatens the heroes by saying "The bolt of Tash falls from above!" Whereupon Prince Corin retorts, "Did the bolt of Tash ever get caught on a hook halfway?"
** Whereupon Corin's father, the King of Archenland, says, "Shame, Corin. Never taunt a man save when he is stronger than you; then, as you please."
* How about when Shasta goes back to help Aravis when she's being attacked by a lion, when the war horse Bree, who's ''been through a thousand battles'', is too scared out of his mind to do anything but run?
** How about Shasta running non-stop, after having been through almost a whole book's worth of shit -- most recently a potential suicide mission through a desert -- to warn King Lune about the impending invasion?
* Corin Thunder-Fist versus the Lapsed Bear of Stormness. Too bad we don't actually get to see it.
* Likewise Peter, who is absent the whole book because he's off ''beating the hell out of a bunch of giants''.
* Edmund gets a great one as Rabadash is hanging on the wall. Rabadash demands to be let down and given a fair shot at killing Edmund. Edmund's response is basically, "'Kay." (Sadly, King Lune prevents what would have been an epic beatdown.)
** Rabadash seems to be the butt of a lot of these. Makes sense since the EvilChancellor slipped the IdiotBall to him to try and get him killed.

Click the edit button Shasta[[spoiler: /Cor]] Jumping off Bree's back (who's at a fear-maddened full gallop) to start this new page. face down a ''freakin' lion'' [[spoiler: Who's actually Aslan]] chasing Aravis and Hwin. [[WhatAnIdiot Don't get me wrong, it's a stupid idea,]] But it proves Shasta's devotion to his friends, as well as having balls of dwarf-forged steel.
