8 Video Game NPCs You Would Die To Protect

8. Huggin - BPM: Bullets Per Minute

When the description of this fantastic rhythm-based shooter is centered around diving into the very depths of hell to defeat the forces of evil and the color palette is for the most part blood red, Huggin the dancing angel chicken is probably the last character you'd expect to find on your journey.

And yet, like the absolute big lej that he is, Huggin can be found manning the item stores that randomly pop up in the procedurally generated dungeons, selling you health and armor upgrades as well as nifty perks that can boost your other stats in weird and wonderful ways.

He's huge, cheery, and constantly dancing around to easily one of the most infectious tracks in the entire game and you will leave his shop feeling more motivated than ever to not only defeat this ancient evil, but make sure not one precious feather on his head is harmed by anything else.

He's too pure for this world, and my god we'll kill anything nasty that comes near him.
