I never watched Little Witch Academia, but from what I read up on her, Diana should take this. I will presume for this analysis that Ursus panthera's eland is roughly comparable to a T. rex in terms of power. The eland has little to attack her with should she pull out the broomstick and fly. Diana, on the other hand, can fire this on the eland: vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/littlewitch/images/6/6c/Murowa.gif/revision/latest?cb=20170129045839That creature doesn't look as durable as a T. rex, so one shot is probably not enough. Several, on the other hand, should take the bovine down. So, the way I see it is something like this: Eland: +Stronger +More durable -Less intelligent -Can't fly Diana: +Flight +Longer range +Intelligence +Wider variety of abilities -Has nothing to kill the eland with quickly (most of her spells seem non-lethal) |

Well, apparently, this is what the Super Eland can do with its powers  If it's already killed all the lions and dinosaurs, killing Diana Cavendish shouldn't be THAT hard. On the other hand, I doubt the eland could reach a flying broomstick. So I'd think stalemate with an edge to the eland |

It depends on if we are using the more serious version of Ursus panthera's eland or the meme version then.
U. panthera at first claimed that an eland could "merely" go toe-on-toe with a T. rex. Later poster then turned it into a meme and U. panthera joined the bandwagon (though he clearly wasn't serious anymore by this point). We can of course use the meme version, but I don't think meme characters make good vs-material.

True, there was a serious character and a meme character.
But I'm pretty sure (could be wrong) that there was more than just killing T rex listed as non-meme material in the Asian elephant vs Tarbosaurus, polar bear vs giant eland, African lion vs common eland, and Carcharodontosaurus vs Spinosaurus threads on the old carnivoraforum. If so, this might be more potent than just a T rex killer.

This matchup's conclusion is dependent on information neither of us can access then.
That being said, from Ursus panthera's pre-meme argumentation, it is not even clear if he saw the eland as being particularly strong or the T. rex as being extremely weak. In the Tyrannosaurus v elephant thread, he listed elephants, rhinos and hippos as herbivores who could beat a Tyrannosaurus and cape buffalos as well as elands as even matchups.

Interesting!
But I thought he was just biased towards elands and not against T rex as per The Venting Thread. Maybe it went both ways.

I think I remember him saying something along the lines of “T. rex was a weak and pathetic animal that to be in a fair fight would need to be matched up with something roughly ten times smaller than itself”. Not verbatim, but something similar to that. So I think it’s probably the latter. |

I’m also pretty sure just petting the eland will burn it up.

Not verbatim, but something similar to that. So I think it’s probably the latter. That leaves us with three versions of the eland to use: 1. The eland as U. panthera originally intended it which is for all practical purposes just a normal animal. 2. What U. panthera eventually turned it into: A caricature of a fanboy animal on par with Chuck Norris. 3. A middle ground between the two: T. rex slaying badass, but nothing more. In the first case, this isn't much of a fight. Diana stomps. Neither is it in the second case. Though the eland can't do so much against a flying opponent (maybe that's why birds were the only dinosaurs the eland did not wipe out? XD), Diana will eventually have to come to the ground where she's toast. In the third case, Diana should win for the reasons stated earlier, but it's probably not a mismatch as in the first two cases. Overall, my vote remains. |

Well, as much as I hate to say it, I now favor Diana Cavendish.

But Diana's so awesome and hot! Oh no, I have absolutely no problem with Diana. I do like the eland quite a lot though. Shame it's not what I thought it was |

She’s got ranged attack via spells. Diana Cavendish has this.
