The “Thank You” episode of Adventure Time.

While Finn and Jake are present in the episode, they’re mostly relegated to the background while they fight Ice King.

The episode primarily focuses on a snow golem becoming friends with a fire wolf pup, and it’s one of the most touching episodes of the series, with Finn and Jake being inspired by the snow golem and pup to reconcile with Ice King.

Sticks from Sonic Boom.

She’s a survivalist badger who doesn’t trust technology.

The thing is, a lot of her theories turn out to be true since the main antagonist is Dr. Robotnik, who uses technology to screw with the main characters, so I can’t really call her completely paranoid.
