I don't care what type of character am I in a story. As long as:

- I'm not the protagonist
- On the protagonist's side
- Not important to the plot (maybe comic relief)
- Survive from the start until the end of the

Stop spreading the stupid myth that all protagonists have to change and be dynamic, and that static characters are somehow throwaway jokes. Some very appealing and well known protagonists are pretty static and have flat character arcs, they barely change, if at all. What they do instead, is they change the other characters and the world itself. The unchanging protagonist with a relentless drive towards something forces the surrounding world to bend to their will. This type of story, and protagonist, is extremely appealing to many people.
