* In the parody of ''StarWars'' done on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', the Ewoks, who in the source material are only vaguely ursine, appear as literal little bears. This is because they're being played by Tim the Bear from ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow''.
* Two of those were featured in ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', trying to capture a runaway alien worm. The bears and the worm were apparently the pets of a gigantic [[RubberForeheadAliens rubber-forehead alien]] little girl called "Tulip".

* The Ro-Bear Berbils of ''[[WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats1985}} ThunderCats]]'' look like a race of [[{{Cyborg}} cyborg]] teddy bears ''(Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' and its Ewoks had [[FollowTheLeader come out fairly recently]] when the show premiered). According to the British ''[=ThunderCats=]'' [[ComicBookAdaptation comic book,]] they were a race of huge and savage bearlike warriors in the distant past, before civilizing themselves into benign cuteness.
* Likewise, ''WesternAnimation/MightyOrbots'' also features an episode with a planet of Ewok [[{{Expy}} expies.]]

* The Urseminites from TabletopGame/{{Bulldogs}} are adorable little roly-poly teddy-bear-things that are generally presumed to have been genetically engineered as children's playmates. [[GoneHorriblyWrong They are an entire species of psychopaths]] with odious personal habits.

* In ''Anime/{{Robotech}} II: The Sentinels'', the Karbarrans are described as "bearmen". [[http://robotech.wikia.com/wiki/Karbarran How]] [[http://www.kent.net/robotech/information/karbarran.shtml closely]] [[http://www.robotech.com/community/fan/art/viewfanart.php?id=3209 they]] resemble bears depends on the artist.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': While they are strange colors, mostly green and yellow, the Ytirflirk aliens are giant fur covered lumbering aliens with definite ursine elements to their snarls. This is highlighted when one of their ships appears in Siberia just after a Polar Bear is shown.

** There's also the Ursumari, though they're not actually aliens. Instead, they're [[UpliftedAnimal uplifted]] ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear?wprov=sfsi1 Ursus maritimus]]'', and their appearance is practically unchanged.

* The ''Franchise/CareBears'' are definitely not from Earth, having come from some sort of alternate dimension according to the first two movies the series had. They also prefer to live all the way up in the sky.

* In Creator/GordonRDickson's ''Spacepaw'' and ''Spacial Delivery'', the Dilbians are described as intelligent grizzly bears. They're noted for being [[BearyFunny good-humored]] and [[BearyFriendly good-natured]] {{Gentle Giant}}s.

* Long John Silver in ''Disney/TreasurePlanet'' is depicted as a bear-like, humanoid {{cyborg}}.

* Perhaps the most familiar examples are ''Franchise/StarWars'''s Wookiees (which also have some [[KillerSpaceMonkey ape]]- or {{Bigfoot|SasquatchAndYeti}}-like aspects) and Ewoks ([[HollywoodNatives tribal warriors]] resembling teddy bears or perhaps [[YowiesAndBunyipsAndDropBearsOhMy drop bears]]). The [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends original Expanded Universe]] also includes the Drall (more badger-like than bear-like, though they do have the classic bipedal "teddy-bear" stance) and the [=ZeHethbra=] (a unique example of this trope in that they have tails).
