Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 12 Best Cult Heroes

7. Daniel 'Oz' Osbourne

Yes, Willow had not one but two great love interests in the series. Before she came out in season four, Willow enjoyed a high school romance with werewolf Oz. Contrary to what you might think a werewolf would be like - angry, bad-tempered - Oz was defined by his stoic, laid-back demeanour.

Despite not saying much, when he did speak Oz would often come out with the best lines, both funny and poignant, and prove that he was the wisest member of the gang - probably even more so than Giles. But beneath this calm exterior, he had to always fight to contain the wolf...

Unfortunately, he had something of a messy exit storyline, when he leaves Willow after having a werewolf affair, but that thankfully wasn't enough to soil the memory of this loveably laconic lycanthrope.
