** Gen 8 would finally give us a legendary bear cub: Kubfu! They're adorably stern-looking gray bear cubs that look and fight like martial artists, and often spend their free time training their body and mind.
** And finally, Gen 2 almost had two other cute bears in its roster as seen by old art and the beta build for Pokemon Gold: Honoguma and Kyonpan. Honoguma was a tubby little firey bear cub that was almost the Fire starter instead of Cyndaquil, while Kyonpan was an adorable Ghost-type jiangshi panda (That evolved from a voodoo doll. For some reason). It's sad that they never made the cut, but you can still play with them thanks to romhacks such as ''Pokemon Gold/Silver 97: Reforged!''

* The Mana of Life, from ''[[Mana Khemia]]'', inhabits and brings to life the teddy bear held by Pamela Ibis to life. The Mana made a contract with Pamela, which allows her to continue living as a ghost while providing her other powers.
* Out of all of Freddy Fazbear's incarnations across the ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's]]'' franchise, Toy Freddy does the best job at invoking this what with his blushing cheeks, round belly, and adorably dopey voice. But he becomes a lot less cute after dark, where he and the rest of his animatronic brethren will stalk the halls of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza and attempt to cruelly kill whatever poor sap has been tasked with guard duty.
** Helpy, introduced in ''Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator'' is a more straightforward example. He's a chibified version of Funtime Freddy, but unlike his dangerous big brother? He's completely passive and helpful towards the player, being willing to help them manage their pizzeria while doing adorable happy dances to pass the time! Unfortunately, he's now one of the many threats the player has to deal with in ''Ultimate Custom Night'', but even there he's more adorable than scary since the only thing he can do is blow an airhorn in the player's face.

* As a rule, bear cubs are incredibly cute! Whether they're grizzly bears, black bears, panda bears, or any of the other numerous species out there, it's hard to resist the urge to cuddle and snuggle with one. But if you ever run into one in the wild, '''''<u>Keepkeep your distance.</u>''''' Mother bears are infamously protective of their cubs and no matter your intentions, they will fuck you up six ways to Sunday if they catch you anywhere near them.
* Adult bears look dopey and innocent when they aren't actively hunting and causing trouble, and are particularly cute when they act like humans, as shown by [https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/funny-bears-doing-human-things-15.jpg these] [https://i2.wp.com/metro.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ad_212268955-e1468074370200.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&zoom=1&resize=644%2C393&ssl=1 photographs]. This does ''not'' make them any less dangerous so for all that is holy, ''please'' don't try to hug or pet one in real life.
* Fuzzy, soft, and achingly adorable, teddy bears are among the most beloved children's toys around the world for a damn good reason. And they can thank U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt for that: the first teddy bear was created in response to a series of satirical comics and drawings made in response to Teddy refusing to shoot a bear his men had incapacitated during a hunting trip. While the bear itself was an adult, most artists interpretations made it out to be a frightened little cub which won the hearts of many an American. So when Morris Mitchom and his wife decided to sell toy bears named after "Teddy's Bear" they were a massive hit, and the rest is history.
