Making a animals tier list
Animals make a good first tier list because the criteria are entirely up to you and the results are usually funny. Rank them by how much you would want one, how well designed they are, or how they would do in a fight - the category survives almost any framing, which is not true of most subjects.
The funniest constraint is a serious one - rank them by design quality rather than by how much you like them. The octopus climbs, the panda falls, and suddenly everyone has an opinion they have to defend.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you make an animal tier list?
- Pick a criterion - how much you would want one, how well designed it is, or how it would fare in a fight - and apply it consistently. The criterion matters more here than in most categories, because without one the list is just a popularity poll.
- What is the best way to rank animals fairly?
- Rank on one axis at a time. Cuteness, intelligence and survivability produce three genuinely different lists, and trying to average them in your head is what leads to a tier list you cannot defend the next day.
