Bear

The Bear is a large, brown furred mammal that is known to be very dangerous when it is mad. It has several major appearances in Total Drama Island, usually scaring the campers. In Total Drama Action, however, it has fewer appearances, since it's contract with the show expired.

Total Drama Island
The bear's first appearance was a brief one in The Big Sleep, where Tyler had a dream that Katie and Sadie were attacked by the bear, causing Tyler to scream in fear waking him up. Later, in The Sucky Outdoors, Owen tells about a story where he and his grandpa hunted a giant bear. Heather rolls her eyes at this, thinking it was fake. After Izzy had been gone for a while, a bear enters the campsite. Upon seeing the bear, Cody pees in his pants and everyone else runs away into the tree. During this moment of fear, Owen revealed his story was fake, and that he had never really hunted a bear before. Heather tried to calm her team down by saying it probably wasn’t hungry since it had eaten Izzy already. Once the branch LeShawna was on breaks, everyone gets scared and Owen yells out that she is going to die. However, LeShawna is very surprised to ask her if she's okay, and when she clarifies with her fellow campers if the bear just talked to her, it removes its head and it is revealed to be Izzy.

Shortly after everyone (except Owen) gets annoyed by Izzy prank, another Bear shows up at the Gopher's campsite. Even though Gwen thinks it looked real this time, Owen just thinks it is Chris in disguise, so he tries to pull off its head. Owen only grabs a bit of it’s fur, so the bear roars in anger. Owen just stands there and says it is definitely a real bear. Cody pees in his pants once again and everyone goes back in the tree. The bear stays there all night, even when it begins to rain. Afterwards, the bear goes back in it’s cave and scares Katie and Sadie away. It’s fur falls off of it’s head shortly after it roars at them.

As seen in Up the Creek, there is a bear that lives on Boney Island. When the Screaming Gophers were being chased by Woolly Beavers, it put on it's glasses to see if what he was seeing was actually happening. Later, the Gophers come running the other way being chased by Stymphalian Canada Geese. The bear breaks his glasses afterwards and throws them somewhere in the woods. The bear also appears in Paintball Deer Hunter at the end of the episode, where it sees Cody with berries and chips. It mauls Cody (which causes his Elimination) and then is seen in the confessional eating chips from a bag which has a hole in it and is also empty.

In X-Treme Torture, the Bear tries to steal the camp's marshmallows several times throughout the episodes, never succeeding in doing so. The first time, it sneaks into camp when all the campers are asleep, but is scared away by Chris McLean’s airplane. During the second part of the challenge, when the Moose was on a rampage, it trampled over all of the marshmallows the bear had gotten. Finally, when Heather had flung away, she landed directly at the bear making him drop all of his marshmallows. The bear growls at heather for this.

In No Pain, No Game, a log-rolling bear named Molotov is seen competing against LeShawna in a log rolling competition. According to Chris, Molotov is Russian and has been a log rolling champion for the past 12 years. However, LeShawna managed to get Molotov in the Piranha infested waters and it lost all of it’s fur. At the end of the episode, Molotov is in the Cave putting on either Katie or Sadie's clothes and squealing "EEEEEEE" like they would.

In Search and Do Not Destroy, the Bear had the key chained around it’s neck. The bear was also asleep. Owen was tasked to steal the key from the bear. Many times, Owen whispered "Oh Crap," and when he finally got near the bear, it put its arm around Owen. Even worse, it eventually bit Owen's head... and then the bear angrily woke up and growled. Owen’s key didn’t open any of the chests, but the bear had eaten practically half of Owen. Luckily for Owen, the bear got tranquilized, but one of the darts also hit Owen.

In Wawanakwa Gone Wild!, several bears were seen being carried away by airplanes to be relocated for the good of campers and themselves. One of the bears lands in a playground right on a kid on the teeter-totter. The kid on the other side shot up into the air and the other kid yelled at the bear and told it to get off of her. Heather is tasked by finding the bear for her challenge, which causes her to panic. The bear is heard roaring at Heather when it sees her bringing over garbage. It is seen chasing after Heather who is disguised as a deer, but keeps running even after Heather got tranquilized by Izzy.

Its next two appearances are very brief ones. In Camp Castaways, once the four remaning campers found Chris and Chef, a Bear is there eating some of the food. It is unknown if it was allowed to or if it was simply stealing the food like it did in X-Treme Torture. In I Triple Dog Dare You!, Owen was dared by Izzy to give a sleeping bear a purple nurple. However, upon doing so, he got mauled by the bear but quickly healed to do the other dares.

In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, the Bear appears near the middle of the episode when Owen, Tyler, Cody, and DJ are on the edge of the cliff. Everyone except Owen gets worried, but Owen says it is only Izzy. After the bear roars at Owen, he says it isn’t Izzy. When the group is accidentally saved by Courtney’s hot air balloon, the bear begins to climb up a cord that is hanging down from the hot air balloon. Once the five people came back with the case, the Bear had finally reached the hot air balloon. The 4 guys give up the case for their survival, but Courtney grabs the case from them. The bear pokes Courtney on the shoulder once she begins bragging, which causes her to escape from the hot air balloon as well.

Total Drama Action
The Bear makes an appearance in the theme song being in the middle of an explosion Lindsay caused. When Izzy arrives and waves to the camera, the Bear roars at Izzy, but the bear is scared by Izzy’s roar and runs away from her. The bear is still shown running away when it passes the Lame-o-sine. In Monster Cash, when Gwen, Trent, and Duncan talk about what the film set no longer had (which included bears), a bear pops out of a burning house and chases the three. Chris asked Chef Hatchet why the bear was still there, and Chef said the bear had one more day left on it’s contract.

Much later during the season in Top Dog, the Bear reappears as one of the animals the contestants can choose to train. Owen chooses it to act like him, but Owen does more sabotaging than training. Owen and his bear get a 6/10 for a mild impression of him, since the Bear farted. While sabotaging the contestants, the bear gets trapped with Owen in a rope trap. Owen and the Bear eat many berries and break the net. However, both of them get diarrhea. Two entire days later, Owen and the Bear return to camp. Owen hides behind the bear when Beth and Courtney scold him for being a traitor.

In Mutiny on the Soundstage, it was once again heavily involved in the challenge. First, Duncan and Beth had to sweep out the bathroom since the Bear and Sasquatchanakwa were in there. During the sport section of the finale's challenge, Duncan had to challenge the bear in all four segments of the sports. For boxing, Duncan punched the bear many times doing nothing to it, but the Bear simply gave out one punch to knock Duncan out. It was evenly matched during the badminton segment, however. For wrestling, all Duncan had to do was jump and avoid a whip the Bear had. Duncan beat the Bear in basketball when he did a slam dunk against it. The bear is once again seen in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special walking the red carpet along with the other "Total Drama Dirtbags" stars.

Total Drama World Tour
Although it is not the usually seen brown-furred bear, a polar bear is seen in the theme song, staring at Lindsay and making her scream. The actual bear appears in a Cartoon Network trailer at the Louvre Museum wielding a chainsaw.
