Or, a energy-information lifeform that feeds off and therefore will like the presence and incrise of positive emotions such as joy curiusity and such.

You've got Orcs, who are standard bulky big bois who won't have a problem lifting a car. I'd take either them or a shapeshifter race like a Changeling.

Slime
/ me



Bodyarmor like bulletproof jacket hidden
Bodyguards of any kind morphed
Like plastic guy in superman, he can morph a key with his finger
Could possibly create a looping-breath-mask, when the client is locked in a dangerous-air room.
Can parachute
Can protect from explosion
Can infiltrate enemy
Can be body double
Can fake your face
Can be eaten
Can be drunk
Can destroy unwanted things (corpses, remaining bonfire that could trace the person, and trash + body's "trash")
Can be talked to

Poltergeist -easy disruption of any attempts on your life, intangible
Dullahan or Cursed Armors -they're autonomous and hollow inside
Maneki-Neko -Can't have bad stuff happen to you if only good stuff happens
Yandere -Protects you from EVERYTHING, even the stuff you do want to happen

Depends - if I want something subtle, a ghost or other spirit creature that can manifest at need but usually just tags along invisibly. Or maybe a classic bugbear - a creature that seems tiny, insignificant, even cute, from a distance or when calm, but turns into a massive raving brute when enraged.

If I don't want subtle, Iron Guards - a squad of animated, semi-sentient suits of full plate mail armed appropriately (or robots who look like them if magic does not apply).

Trimmau, the mercury maid from Lord El-Melloi II Case Files.
Ooh the mercury lady, i enjoyed this fate series it was great
Dragon.
Depending on lore, can be strong or vastly OP.
And they will protect their hoard with prejudice.
Good choice, dragons are always the best in any lore
Uruk-hai. They're loyal to whoever their lesder is, and strong

Never, they overcook my steak
The uruk are brutal,yeah i don't see anyone surviving when this orc attack
