Bear

The Bear is a large, brown-furred mammal that is known to be very dangerous when it is angry. It has made several major appearances in Total Drama Island, usually scaring the campers. In Total Drama Action, however, it had made fewer appearances, since its contract with the show had apparently expired, but makes further appearances during Total Drama World Tour.

Total Drama Island
The bear's first appearance was a brief one in The Big Sleep, where Tyler had a nightmare that Katie and Sadie were being attacked by it, causing Tyler to scream in fear, which woke him up. Later, in The Sucky Outdoors, Owen tells a story that 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 up in the tree. During this moment of fear, Owen revealed his story was just for entertainment purposes, 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, although they only looked at her in shock. Once the branch Leshawna was on breaks, everyone gets scared, and Owen proclaims loudly that she is going to die. However, Leshawna is very surprised when the "bear" asks her if she is 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) becomes annoyed by Izzy's prank, another bear shows up at the Gopher's campsite. Even though Gwen thinks it looked real this time, Owen believes it is Chris in disguise, so he tries to pull off its head. Owen only grabs a bit of its 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 its cave and scares Katie and Sadie away. Its fur falls off of its 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 its glasses to see if what he was seeing was actually happening. Later, the Gophers come running the other way being chased by Stymphalian Canadian Geese. The bear breaks his glasses afterwards and throws them somewhere into 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 is later seen in the confessional eating chips from an empty bag which has a hole in it.

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 was flung away, she landed directly at the bear making him drop all of his marshmallows. The bear then 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 twelve years. However, Leshawna managed to get Molotov in the Piranha infested waters and it lost all of its fur. At the end of the episode, Molotov is in the cave putting on Sadie's clothes and squealing "EEEEEEE" like she (and Katie) 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. 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 in a bear costume again. After the bear roars at Owen, he worriedly says it isn’t Izzy. The scared, tied together group falls off the cliff but are saved by a desperate Cody who barely hangs on to the edge. 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 opening sequence, appearing in the middle of an explosion caused by Lindsay, his fur charred and an angry look on his face. When Izzy arrives and waves to the camera, the bear roars at her, but the bear is scared when Izzy roars right back at him and begins to chase him off-screen. The bear is still shown running away from Izzy when it passes by the Lame-o-sine. In Monster Cash, when Gwen, Trent, and Duncan talked about what the film set no longer had (which included bears), a nearby house instantly burst into flames and disintegrated in a matter of seconds, exposing the bear inside (once again with charred fur as a result of the explosion). It roars angrily and begins to chase the three away, but is never seen again in the episode. Chris asked Chef why the bear was still there, saying that he thought the bear had been tranquilized and returned to its handler. Chef replied by saying that the bear had one more day left on its contract, to which Chris chuckled and said "Nice!"

In the Best. Game. Ever. there are multiple bears that appear as enemies in the woods, who can be defeated with three hits. 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 again seen in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special walking on the red carpet along with all of the others that have been chosen to be "Total Drama Dirtbags" stars.

Total Drama World Tour
Although the brown furred bear is not usually seen, a polar bear is seen sometimes in correspondence to colder areas. In the opening sequence, it stares at Lindsay and makes her scream (the polar bear was really Izzy in a costume, much like what happened before in the woods). Another polar bear appears in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, rising from the icy water after Cody and Owen collide with each other on top of an ice floe. The polar bear proceeds to tilt the ice floe over, so he can eat Cody and Owen, but is hit over the head by an ice block thrown by Sierra, and sinks back into the water.

The real bear appears briefly in Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water when Harold was solving a complicated math problem. The bear was seen holding a chainsaw and was angrily glaring at him.

In Can't Help Falling in Louvre, Chris unleashes a ferocious bear, holding a chainsaw, to make the sculpture-collecting challenge more difficult for the contestants. Once the bear catches up to Team Amazon, it sees Sierra crying, and eventually begins crying itself. When Cody and Sierra leave, the bear pulls out a group of photographs, showing him in a photo booth, with a female bear (meaning the bear was also crying about someone he cared about). Near the end of the challenge, the bear chases only DJ after he was injured by DJ on a reckless golf cart.

In Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon, the bear is seen in "DJ's World of Animals,” when DJ is scratching his foot with a stick, and he accidentally leans against a tree. The tree then falls on top of the bear who is reading a newspaper.

The bear has a small part in Greece's Pieces as part of a challenge. It is dressed like an Ornathian boar, having boar tusks tied to its upper jaw. The bear had a gold medal around its neck, which either Gwen or Duncan had to retrieve. The bear attacks Duncan in Greek Mix, but ignores Gwen, allowing her to claim the medal, and victory.

In Aftermath Aftermayhem, the bear is briefly seen following Gwen after she is introduced, but he is dragged offstage by an intern. Another bear, which, according to Harold, is a Siberian brown bear, is shown to apparently be attacking Bridgette, and blocks out the camera which shows Bridgette in Siberia with its paw. The bear is later seen crying about having an injured paw, and Bridgette is shown helping it with its injury. Bridgette called the bear, "Bruno.” Despite being called a brown bear, it appears to have black fur rather than the usual shade of brown seen on most bears on the show.

The bear appears again in Niagara Brawls, where it is used in the slot machine as a 'surprise', alone with Duncan, Cody, Alejandro and Owen. It is later released when Courtney wins it in the game and it chases her around the theater. Later, it is lead away by a metal collar after Courtney refuses to accept the bear.

In Awwwwww, Drumheller, the bear is seen running out of the plane's cargo hold right before Sierra causes the plane to explode.

In Hawaiian Style, Bruno (the black bear from Aftermath Aftermayhem) follows Bridgette to the Aftermath set. Just when Geoff and Bridgette are about to kiss, Bruno punches Geoff, popping up from behind the aftermath couch much like the brown-furred bear did in Tyler's dream in The Big Sleep. After scolding the bear, Bridgette explains that Bruno has become possessive and will hurt any one who comes within three feet of her. Even an attempt at touching elbows causes Bruno to growl at Geoff. After a performance of Who You Gonna Root For?, Geoff gives the microphone to Bridgette and she kisses his cheek. Unfortunately, this causes Bruno to attack Geoff and backhand him into the ocean. Bridgette scolds the bear again and he sulks over to where the Peanut Gallery is sitting, causing everyone to bail except Beth, who is too frightened to leave. Bruno sniffs Beth's hair and starts licking the back of her head. In an effort to calm Bruno down, Harold suggests feeding him Kava tea. Once the tea is ready, Harold is the only one brave enough to give the tea kettle to Bruno, who calms down after drinking. Geoff and Bridgette are about to hug before going to commercial break, resulting in Bruno attempt to strike. However, the tea causes Bruno to become sleepy and merely falls on Geoff instead. Bruno is restrained for much of the episode until a heavily bandaged Blaineley crashes into the ocean during a surfing challenge. Bruno runs out and rescues her, only for Geoff to note that perhaps the bear likens her to a chew-toy. At this point, Geoff forgets Bruno's possessiveness with Bridgette and hugs her, and she tries to move away, afraid Bruno might attack him again. Respecting Bridgette's wishes however, Bruno attempts to keep his anger contained by gnawing on Blaineley's head to vent out his anger.

In Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles, the bear is seen caged in a truck, and also during the song I'm Gonna Make It.
