The Bear^[1] (クマ^[2], Kuma^?) is a creature that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a race of small bear Animals used for raising Chao.

Overview[]

In the gameplay of Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Bears can alter the stats, appearance and personality of a Chao. These animals are either found inside Badnik enemies or the second Chao Container opened in an Action Stage, or hiding somewhere in the Action Stages, usually inside Cages or Pipes. In the first case, simply destroy the Badnik to release the Bear inside. When the Bears roam free, the player must touch them to pick them up. Also, when released from Badniks, the Bears will have a green sphere around them which disappears shortly afterwards. They are found in the following Action Stages:

Upon entering a Chao Garden with a Bear, it will leave the playable character and run around the garden. Should the player give a Bear to a Chao, the Chao will embrace it, attaining its appearance and behavior and raising its stats according to the Bear's. The Bear will then disappear shortly after.
