For starters, there's a heavy implication that he's somehow connected to the entity in the fog. Then there's his extremely manipulative behavior. He tells Cody to stay away and implies he'll hurt Bridget if they continue to come back. He repeatedly guilt-trips the rest of the Fazbears for their feelings of friendship toward the kids and even pressures Freddy into barring Cody and Bridget from returning. When the rest of the animatronics finally talk back to him and start to press him on his insistence that the children need to stay away, he snaps at them, spotting some pretty creepy BlackEyesOfEvil.]]

In ''The Day the Earth Stood Sitll'', Tom compares [[NormallyIWouldBeDeadNow her slamming into his body to a sledgehammer hitting a watermelon]]; and in ''Escape from L.A.'', she has a "shoot first, ask questions later" attitude as she pursues him through the sewers.
* ''Fanfic/EquestriaGirlsDinosapien'': Played with realistically where a grizzly menaces Maia and Sandalwood on account being a literal MamaBear trying to intimidate them away after Sandalwood accidentally spooks the cub going for his trail food.

* ''Fanfic/PrehistoricEarth'': Baloo the cave bear can be surprisingly friendly and affable for the most part despite his tough and grizzled appearance.

And God help you if you're stupid enough to harm or threaten his primary caretakers Will and Alice in front of him.
* ''Fanfic/PrehistoricParkReimagined'': Smokey the ''Arctodus'' proves a quite vicious force to be reckoned with, first getting introduced on the clear winning end of a CurbStompBattle against [[PantheraAwesome Diego the]] ''[[PantheraAwesome Smilodon]]'' and still proving fairly gruff and aloof when he's later seen amongst the animals rescued and living at the titular park (to the point that even the other ''Arctodus'' rescued don't want to risk pissing him off).

%%* [[http://i.imgur.com/6tQaU.jpg This anonymous MS Paint comic.]]
* Radic from ''Webcomic/MurphysLaw'' occasionally wildshapes into a bear.
%%* ''Webcomic/{{Nedroid}}'': Combined with ThreateningShark: [[http://nedroid.com/2009/07/doorway-to-your-inner-self/ I CAN NEVER STOP SCREAMING]]. Averted with Beartato, the friendly OnlySaneMan.

* ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'''s Flatbears [[http://oglaf.com/northerner/ blow in on the northerlies.]]
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Inverted regarding the owlbear: [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0322.html "Why would anyone crossbreed a perfectly serviceable bear with an owl?"]]
** How does a druid who focuses on spellcasting prepare for melee combat? That's right, by [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0353.html becoming a dire bear]].
** Exploited: They also have a "bear druid riding a bear while summoning bears" ''[[http://www.cafepress.com/orderofthestick/10865760 T-shirt]]''.
* In ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'', [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0237.html scouting the woods turns up bears.]]

* ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' gives us [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1488#comic this]].
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** {{Uplifted|Animal}} polar bear (or "ursumari") Captain Landon from the "Delegates and Delegations" arc is normally pretty mild-mannered, but you [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2015-03-08 don't want to get him angry]].
** The Ob'enn race, who prove that even being a small and fuzzy koala-like bear doesn't get in the way of being a menace. Being sociopathic xenophobes with huge battleships goes a long way towards the goal.
* [[http://www.shreddedmoose.com/comic/comic_arc.php?comicID=132 This]] strip of ''Webcomic/ShreddedMoose'' shows that sex is also Worse With Bears.
* As photoshopped by Website/SomethingAwful: [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bears_online.jpg 1 in 5 children online gets eaten by rabid bears]].
* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Bear beasts are rare, powerful and dangerous. The chief issue in Onni's attempts to hunt down the kade is the fact that it's partnered up with a group of three infected bears, which are far too dangerous for him to tackle directly. Once the largest one is angered, she proves to be a fast, powerful, ferocious and relentless danger.
* ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'' has 3 bears, all of whom are bad news to anyone that happens to annoy them:
** The protagonist airsmith BigEater GadgeteerGenius grumpy polar bear Doc.
** His friend and a regular client brown bear Bruno. Sometimes described as "old, fat and slow", but more of a CoolOldGuy with overtones of being badass.
** Another friend of Doc, [[ComedicSociopathy bad-tempered]] scary-looking obnoxious panda Gino. Usually appears when [[HilarityEnsues situation already went out of control]] and [[ExaggeratedTrope escalates it]] or [[DropTheCow takes the story in entirely new direction]]. [[http://the-whiteboard.com/autotwb1323.html Like a skunk spray in the aftermath of zombie invasion]]. WordOfGod says he's a bail bondsman and a bounty hunter.
* In ''Webcomic/WildeLife,'' the White-Faced Bear is the apparently BigGood of the series, and Eliza works with him to protect Podunk and the surrounding area. [[GoodIsNotSoft You should still be afraid of him]]. Chapter Six sees him threaten Oscar for back-talking him, and he's notably the one to kill [[spoiler:[[WickedWitch Zulime]]]], whom Eliza seemed at least tentatively willing to let go.
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' [[https://xkcd.com/2381/ addresses]] the idea that the original word for "bear" was forgotten out of fear that [[SpeakOfTheDevil speaking it would summon it]], then makes the mistake of reconstructing it.
* ''Webcomic/TheYoungProtectors'' raises the stakes to a fifty-foot-high [[http://webcomics.yaoi911.com/typ/ete-ch4-page-33/ spirit bear]] with EyeBeams that cause some serious trouble even to [[spoiler:two of the most powerful supervillains in the world]].

** [[https://sites.google.com/site/worldofserina/the-ultimocene-250-million-years/the-truculent-bumblebear The truculent bumblebear]], at eight feet in height and nine hundred pounds in weight, is one of the largest bumblebear species and the apex predator of its era. They're extremely powerful and dangerous predators, equally happy killing and eating literally any creature they encounter as they are chasing off other predators from their kills. They have no natural enemies, and their most common cause of death is being killed by a conspecific in a conflict over territory.
** During the height of the Ocean Age glaciation, the truculent bumblebear evolves into the dire bumblebear, the largest bumblebear to ever live and a fearsome, powerful, and highly aggressive predator. Dire bumblebears are adapted for killing thorngrazers, the only remaining land herbivores to exist in large numbers during this period. As thorngrazers are themselves aggressive and powerful beasts who live in large herds and in one species' case are covered in spines, dire bumblebears get

* ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'': A zombie bear (Ursa Major, of the Russian Avengers) appears. It bites down on Machine Man's head where he impales it with spikes and rips it apart. Hell, you wouldn't want to get on Ursa Major's bad side in actual Marvel continuity either, even if he ''is'' a good guy. He's pretty tough. In fact, he's pretty tough [[HuskyRusskie even in human form.]]
* ''ComicBook/NewMutants'': The archenemy of Dani Moonstar is [[https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/1/15776/1013879-demonbear3.jpg the Demon Bear]], a gigantic spectral bear who steals souls and seemed to have killed her parents.

Added DiffLines:
[[folder:Films -- Animated]]
* ''WesternAnimation/The3LittlePigsTheMovie'': Played with; the first bear we see is friendly, and quietly helps Feeno make mortar for brick-laying. The next bears we see are some of the dinner guests at the inn. One is fairly passive, and asks for a jar of honey, only to be thrown out by his fellow patrons for not requesting meat. The rest of the bears play the trope straight, and are just as rowdy as the other guests, slamming their fists on tables, and later along with the rest of the guests, [[spoiler: trashing the place in a riot]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega'': Downplayed. Several bears threaten Humphrey and Kate due to Humphrey accidentally making a cub cry, but they're defeated by the wolves. Subverted in the sequel ''A Howl-iday Adventure''. Fearing that they might experience a repeat of what happened in the first film, Humphrey initially refuses to help a lost bear cub before doing so. [[spoiler:But at the film's climax, the bear cub actually gets his mother and their fellow bears to effectively use this trope to defeat [[BigBad King]] and his rogue wolves and force them into retreating.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}'' features a fight with a bear near the beginning of Balto's journey to find the medicine, and the bear is portrayed as outright ''demonic''. It's only defeated by falling through the ice and drowning.
** This carries over to the sequel, where Balto and Aleu fight a bear. Thanks to his embodiment of an animal totem, he comes across as more of a spirit guide, but he's still fairly menacing and seems to believe ScareEmStraight is the best way to guide them.
** Even though they are cubs and thus good the polar bears Muk and Luk spell this trope for their babysitter, "Uncle" Boris (who at one point says "I hate bears!"). Good thing that they apparently are stuck as cubs forever (if the time between the movie and sequels is of any indication).
* ''WesternAnimation/BillyAndMandysBigBoogeyAdventure'': Horror's Hand reveals that Irwin's worst fear is having to tell jokes to bears, which causes an entire nightclub where the guests are angry grizzlies to spawn, with poor Irwin as a comedian. Naturally, Irwin fails to entertain the ursids and they all promptly gang up on him and maul him alive. [[spoiler: Thankfully, they all get poofed away when the Hand reveals the [[BigBad Boogeyman's]] worst terror (being unable to scare others at all), which the heroes find ridiculous]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'' has Mor'du. He's twelve feet tall with razor sharp claws, one glowing red eye and an almost rabid taste for human flesh. [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids You know, for kids!]] He also ripped off the leg of King Fergus, father of protagonist Merida, leading him to have an unending grudge against bears. [[spoiler:Given Merida leads her queen mom to [[ForcedTransformation become a bear]], Bears Are ''Really'' Bad News...]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'': The main character sees bears as irritations at first and develops a full-blown hatred towards them after one inadvertently caused his brother's death. Subverted when he turns into one and finds out that bears actually aren't so terrible.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheChristmasTree'': At one point, Judy's kids and their dog Licorice get attacked by a bear with an uncanny resemblance to Baloo from ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967''.
* ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'' has living gummy bears trying to take out a FlyingCar gremlin style, until being stopped by a gummy bear-loving monkey.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound'': In the climax, a bear is portrayed as some demonic beast spawned from the depths of Hell. (This has a lot to do with the fact that Amos shoots it but only wounds it, making it very, ''very'' angry, as wounded animals often are.) It might not be ''the'' most terrifying antagonist to appear in a Disney film, but it's definitely on the list.
* ''WesternAnimation/FunAndFancyFree'': Averted with [[BearyFunny Bongo, Lulubelle and the gang of friendly bears]], but played straight with the huge, monstrous bear, Lumpjaw.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittlePolarBear'': Averted with Lars, his parents and his friend Greta. Downplayed with Brutus, a grown-up polar bear who serves as a major antagonist and Lars' archenemy in the films. He dislikes Lars for ruining his seal hunting plans. However he is merely a simple neighbourhood grump and not that much of a villain, although he does commit some minor immoral acts such as interrogating a lemming and threatening Lars' dad in the original film and leaving Lars with his friends behind on a train to be transported away from the Arctic to the south in the sequel ''TheLittlePolarBear2TheMysteriousIsland''.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{NIMONA}}'': One of the title character's forms is a bear, and is seen as a villain.
* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheHedge'': Vincent is one of the three {{Big Bad}}s, and insists that R.J. that he must find food for him, or else he will eat him.
* ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'' features the Three Bears Crime Family as part of the BigBadEnsemble, led by their adopted daughter Goldilocks. They are appropriately huge and strong enough to bust holes in a brick house with their bear hands.
* ''WesternAnimation/SherlockGnomes'': Irene's bouncer, bodyguard and general enforcer is a gigantic, hulking teddy bear who is missing an eye.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}}'': The street performer Mike runs afoul of the Mafia, portrayed by bears and speaking with {{Russian|Bear}} accents, [[spoiler:when he tries cheating at cards]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TomSawyer2000'': The BigBad is a massive, hulking anthro grizzly named Injurin' Joe, a far more sadistic and deranged version of Injun Joe from the novel. In an otherwise lighthearted musical film, the guy stands out as a particularly [[KnightOfCerebus monstrous]] and [[VileVillainSaccharineShow spine-chilling]] antagonist.
* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'': [[spoiler:Lotso, the teddy bear at Sunnyside Daycare, and BigBad of the film, is as bad as a bear comes. He was once a nice and friendly toy, until he was lost and replaced by the girl he belonged to, causing him to snap and become monstrous. After arriving at Sunnyside, he took over the daycare and treated it like a prison for new toys, which he leaves to the mercy of the daycare's destructive toddlers]].
* ''WesternAnimation/WereGoingOnABearHunt'': Lampshaded, in contrast to the children's book on which it's based. The children perceive the bear as a danger and run away from it, despite it being conveyed to the audience that the bear is a gentle, friendly creature in this version.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'': The crime boss MisterBig has polar bear bodyguards.

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Back in the territorial era, there was a [[TheGimmick gimmick]] of the wrestling bear. While the "matches" would generally involve the bear's trainer, at times, it was used as a threat against a heel manager. The most famous were Victor, who worked with heel manager "Playboy" Gary Hart in Texas, and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrible_Ted_(bear) Terrible Ted,]] who worked in Maple Leaf Wrestling in Toronto, the [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} World Wide Wrestling Federation]], Wrestling/DickTheBruiser's World Wrestling Association in Indianapolis, and other promotions until he retired in 1974. There is a match, such as it was, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EH-fV9szTs between Terrible Ted and Gene DuBois]] on ''Volume 4: No More Mr. Nice Guy'' of the ''Wrestling Gold'' DVD series hosted by Wrestling/JimCornette and [[Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter Dave Meltzer]]. But it goes back to at least the 1930s with a wrestling bear named Ginger.
* Terrible Ted was the trope namer for BearHug, as he had been declawed and lost all of his teeth during his carnival days prior to his pro wrestling debut, so "hugging" was his most effective form of offense. The less famous Smokey, whom Ted was partnered with when he joined the pro wrestling business, was much more dangerous and eventually was taken by the humane society after mauling someone to death. On the not-so-bad news side, a young Wrestling/BretHart would let Ted lick melted ice cream off of his feet when it was living under the Hart porch.
* Bearcat Wright Jr., who wrestled through the territories in the 1950s through '70s, and his successor of sorts, Bearcat Brown through the '60s through '80s.
* Willie Williams (a kickboxer who did some MMA and Pro Wrestling) actually did fight a bear, instead of its trainer, [[RedBaron which earned him the nickname]] "Bear Killer".
* Wrestling/IvanKoloff, the man who ended Wrestling/BrunoSammartino's EIGHT-YEAR reign as [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE (then WWWF) World Heavyweight Champion,]] was known as "The RussianBear".
* The BearHug has been used as a submission hold by everyone from [[ForeignWrestlingHeel evil Russian]] Wrestling/NikolaiVolkoff to [[Wrestling/MarkHenry "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry]]. It was innovated by Wrestling/GeorgeHackenschmidt, whose RedBaron, ironically, was [[KingOfBeasts "The Russian Lion"]].
* Sylvester Terkay, better known for his work in Japan, had a run in Wrestling/{{WWE}} where he used the RedBaron "The Man-Bear."
* Wrestling/BigShow uses a bear as his logo.
* Bear Fukuda, the resident street fighter of Next Door Project "El Dorado", which went on to become "Secret Base".
* 1970s British wrestler John Elijah was known as "Bearman". Only of ordinary size for a heavyweight (~210 pounds), he once nearly lifted Shirley Crabtree ("Big Daddy") over the top rope, inducing his 350-pound opponent to signal for a round of applause from the crowd.
