The Other Dogs

**The Other Dogs** are major characters in *Mr. Magistral Malik*. They serve as supporting characters and sometimes secondary antagonists or supporting antagonists.

They are feral Dogs who are taken care of by X.

They are Malik/Magistral’s archenemies and Olaf’s occasional ally/rival.

## Their Admirable Ranking

### Debated Validations

* Just because they are feral doesn’t mean they don’t share any moral agencies at all since they can do commands under a certain amount of time. It is just that when they don’t recognize Malik or his friends and family they proceed to act aggressively or territorial into their feral state but some of which relatively begin to follow up with commands, etc.
* Not all of The Other Dogs are villainous. As some only act out of paranoia and fear with new people. It’s usually the Dogs that cause enough of a mess or continuously fight each other and cause havoc that end up being the main issues. While some of these members of The Other Dogs could be good. As one of them ran with Malik away from The Golf Kart Duo and the rest overall aren’t so hostile and somewhat more cooperative in the long run.
* It's highly debatable how responsible every single on of The Other Dogs truly are for Malik's misfortunes or unwell days he experienced when dealing with The Other Dogs since Malik has always been miserable earlier on and always caused a majority of the issues earlier on that would lead to his many losses.

### What makes them at least admirable enough?

* Despite their many differences with Malik. Not all of them despise Malik nor his family and some are just easily terrified of the new environments that they are in which explains their irrational behavior.
* While some of them are either antagonistic/villainous. The portion of them have been good enough friends with Malik/Magistral and Olaf.
* Despite them following commands by X. They mainly focus on just doing whatever it takes to get through their stay.
* Some of them are family meaning they have had been good pets for numerous owners as well as being parents.
* Although being indirectly. They pay the mortgages and help out.
* While they may seem to not have moral agencies due to being feral. They are shown to ignore commands that their owners usually tell them. Thus they can to a degree understand right from wrong.
	+ Additionally, they sometimes can feel emotions of jealousy and fight over food, water, and sometimes each other.
* While they may not be as admirable as Malik and Olaf. Apart from knowing really well how to fetch and multiple commands from their owners. They have little to know resources than the two.

### What makes their admirability insufficient?

* They are made from shock-value and are made to be despised. Which is why they cannot count as Pure Good.
* They are Heroic Species who can’t qualify due to The Other Dogs having a high number of participant members. Thus, they don’t have moral agencies. Especially considering their animalistic instincts that are canon in the Magistralverse.
* They are way too anti-heroic to qualify as PG/NPG. Due to being outright lethal, mischievous, and committing some of the worst deeds that leaves even Malik or even X shocked. Some of The Other Dogs also escalated some of the relationship issues between Malik and his ex-girlfriend HER 🧡💜 which made Malik oppose The Other Dogs slightly more or to the very least have an enormous distance from them with the little exception of Olaf. This has landed The Other Dogs a spot on Insufficiently Heinous.
* Similar to Olaf but on a more difficult level. They don’t make it clear they are doing anything good and may cooperate out of sheer pragmatism as some of them become more reluctant and stubborn later on a lot more than Olaf.
* They don't have enough characterization nor enough of a story to qualify as a Heroic Benchmark.
