Bentley Bear Crystal Castles Atari, Inc. Most bears spend their days hanging out in the woods and eating honey, but Bentley Bear bides his time by collecting gems, navigating through mazes, and… well, eating honey. Crystal Castles might seem cliche by today’s standards, but the fairy tale setting was exciting in 1983 and it was a lot of fun to battle evil trees and dancing skeletons. Bentley’s adventures were surprisingly varied, and Crystal Castles was notable for being one of the first arcade games with an actual ending. The game was released just before the home console market crashed, so Bentley never reached his full mascot potential. After hibernating for over a decade, Bentley was featured as a racer in Atari Karts on the Jaguar. More recently, he was referenced in a Lupe Fiasco song and he had a cameo in Wreck-It Ralph.

  • Gloomy Bear, character from Japanese graphic designer Mori Chack. Gloomy, an abandoned little bear, is rescued by Pitty, a little boy. At first, he is cute and cuddly, but becomes more wild as he grows up. Since bears do not become attached to people like dogs by nature, Gloomy attacks Pitty even though he is the owner.
  • Gund Snuffles is a plush bear developed and produced by the GUND toy company and was the recipient of 1996 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Award.
  • Pedobear is an Internet meme that became popular through the imageboard 4chan. As the name suggests ("pedo" being short for "pedophile"), it is portrayed as a pedophilic bear. It is a concept used to mock pedophiles or people who have any sexual interest in children or jailbait. The bear image has been likened to bait, used to lure children or as a mascot for pedophiles
