Teddy bears [[KillerTeddyBear almost always]] are BearyFriendly and avert BearsAreBadNews. Teddy bears are not fierce; they like to give hugs! (Although they may sometimes be shown in children's media as bravely protecting their owners from ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight.) Teddy bears rarely act like bears (unless they want to [[StockAnimalDiet eat honey]]), they are just generic animals who happen to be bears because they are furry and not human. Teddy bears are [[SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism anthropomorphic]] and usually fit the FunnyAnimal trope; they do not look human, but they have two arms and two legs (whereas real bears have four legs), and walk on two feet, though they are often posed sitting. Teddy bears have eyes, nose and mouth almost like a human, but also a short snout (usually more like a puppy than a bear) and bear-like ears on top of their head. On the bear's behind, there might be a small tail. Teddy bears have fur; usually brown, as a generic bear color, but they can be any color at all. Some bears have a small amount of hair (of whatever color) between their ears. Some bears wear a shirt.
