ARJUNA

Arjuna has willingly attempted to kill himself twice by walking into a pit of fire.

One time it was when Arjuna was challenged by a monkey to make a bridge out of arrows because Arjuna kept saying that he could make a sturdier and better bridge than the ones the monkeys did so they both did the bet and Arjuna was like 'if my bridge collapses i'll kms and jump into a pit of fire' and lo and behold, he ends up loosing so my guy was not going to hesitate to commit to his end so he lit had to be stopped from walking onto the fire.

The other time was when some guy was lamenting the death of his kid, that he died as soon as he was born and that no one cared. Arjuna finds this guy (a Brahmin) and takes pity on him and assures him that he will protect his next kid like 'dw, the next kid you have will live' and he vows that if he fails to protect this kid, he'll end his life by jumping into the fire (again) Long story short, when the time comes for the kid to be born, Arjuna visits the house of the guy and his wife and makes the house secure by making an enclosure with arrows yet the child still dies and not only that but the body also disappears??? the guy is obviously furious bc wtf arjuna u were supposed to prevent this from happening u suck so arjuna naturally (and once again) was ready to jump into the fire because how embarrassing right, but he was prevented from doing so by God Krishna who then took him to meet god Vishnu who upon getting told what happened was like "oh krishna and arju! i just took those kids just so i could see u guys again! it was nice seeing u, now go take the two kids back home :D" and so the whole thing was fixed.

Arjuna fought against crocodiles, 5 crocodiles

Basically it was during the time when he and his brothers and wife got exiled and as Arjuna was wandering on his own around the forest to gather resources, he found a sort of monastery (Ashram) and was like 'oh cool! maybe i'll be able to ask for food here' and as he entered, he saw many sages who were all tensed up and rushed towards arjuna and begged him to help them. Their problem was that these sages said that in the monastery, they had like 5 ponds that were used for bathing purposes but for some reason, crocodiles took over the ponds and for each pond there is a crocodile who eats anyone who gets on the pond, so naturally arjuna goes over to help. Because he had once received a blessing from the princess of the snake kingdom that no water or aquatic animal would be able to defeat him, Arju confidently enters the pond and catches the first crocodile and yeets it out of the pond. As soon as this crocodile is out of the pond, it turns into a woman who asks for his help as it turns out that she and her other 4 friends have been cursed for disrupting a sage who was meditating and because of this, they were all cursed to turn into crocodiles and can only be freed from the curse if someone takes them out of their ponds so Arju went ahead and went to each pond and yeeted all 5 of the crocodiles out and thus ends up saving all the women

Helps with burning a forest and proceeds to get thanked afterwards???

So the story involves Agni the god of fire and how in order to finally satiate his hunger, he needs to devour the forest but he can't do this because each time he attempts to do so he is stopped by Indra, so one day he meets arjuna and krishna and asks for their help, and they both agree to help and they thus end up battling against Indra as well as other gods and demons and animals and snakes, and Agni ends up eating the forest. It's because they help Agni with his indisgestion that Agni arranges for arjuna and Krishna to meet up with Varuna who ends up giving them celestial weapons, in the case of Arjuna, he gets his famous bow gandiva + the two endless quivers he has (that he carries in his fate interpretation!)

He's very skilled with origami

Not related to the Mahabharata but it's a personal headcanon that because of how precise and observant he is (as well as his perfectionism tm) he makes the cleanest folds and can make about any shape
