Quote #4

A scuffling mass of monkeys, biting, scratching, tearing, and pulling, closed over Bagheera. (3.113)

The fight with the monkeys is pretty rough and tumble, and despite talking big, Bagheera is no match against them. He's out of commission fairly quickly.

Quote #5

Then from the ruined wall nearest the Jungle rose up the rumbling war-shout of Baloo. (3.119)

Baloo may seem kind of dopey and kind, but he's no Gentle Ben. When it comes time to save Mowgli, Baloo kicks some serious monkey butt.

Quote #6

Shere Khan needed no more trampling. He was dead, and the kites were coming for him already. (5.71)

Shere Khan suffers one of the grossest, most humiliating deaths we've ever read. He's napping, and Mowgli just tramples him with a buffalo, turning him into a tiger-skin rug. Ouch.
