The Sea Bear

A Sea bear is an underwater bear, and only appeared in The Camping Episode. SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward all encountered it once.

Looks

The sea bear looks like a normal fish with clawed fins (though it floats in the water on its side like a normal fish, unlike the regular fish of Bikini Bottom), and has the head and upper body of a bear.

Defenses and Attractions

Attractions of a sea bear (with explanations and/or reasons):

• Playing a clarinet poorly.
  • This may be because sea bears take clarinets (especially with Squidward's talent) as an animal dying.

• Waving a flashlight
  • Patrick claims flashlights are their natural prey, though it could also be seen as a sign of weakness or inferiority.

• Stomping on the ground
  • They take it as a challenge.

• Eating, distributing, or even holding cubed cheese.
  • SpongeBob points out that sliced cheese is fine.

• Wearing a sombrero in a goofy fashion (upside down).
  • Offensive, perhaps.

• Wearing clown shoes
  • Perhaps in ridicule of a sea bear's large body, or the bear may mistake giant red feet as a sign of dying.

• Wearing a hoop skirt.
  • Perhaps this disgusts the Sea Bear, or is just too ugly.

• Screeching like a chimpanzee.
  • Perhaps they hate the sound of a screeching chimpanzee, or may sound like an animal dying.

• It should also be noted that sea bears seem to just "not like" Squidward, since it always attacks him whenever he moves. Spongebob tells Squidward not to run, limp, or crawl if he doesn’t want the Sea Bear to attack, but then, after doing something off-screen, the Sea Bear attacks once again, showing that, even though he didn’t do anything that a Sea Bear normally hates, the Sea Bear just doesn’t like Squidward (as noted by Spongebob).

Defense:

• To protect oneself from the mauling of a Sea Bear, an Anti-Sea Bear Circle must be drawn in the ground. Immediately after, the prey must stand or sit in the Circle's radius, and if successful, the sea bear won’t attack. However, a circle must be a perfect (or near-perfect) circle, and that an oval won’t help.

• Also if trying to escape from a sea bear don’t, under any circumstances, try to run from a sea bear, as they hate that.
• Don’t try to limp away from a sea bear (they hate limping more than running).
• Don’t try to crawl away from a sea bear.
• If the sea bear doesn't like you, it increases the risk of being attacked.

• There is also a Sea Rhinoceros, which will always come after the sound of a sea bear attack, possibly to pick up any scraps of meat that a sea bear leaves behind (like vultures).

Rumors

• There are many rumors and controversies about the dreaded Sea Bear. In a magazine called "Fake Science Monthly" it explains that Sea Bears and Fairy Tales are real--however, this is an obvious gimmick, seeing that the the title of the magazine itself implies that the stories inside are not true.

• Later in the episode, it shows a different issue of Fake Science Monthly, explaining the purpose of an Anti-Sea Bear Circle, and that it is the only defense available.

• In a magazine called "Bikini Bottom Inquirer", there is an article about a fish marrying a Sea Bear.

• Of course, although the name of the magazine is "Fake Science Monthly," the tips inside, such as drawing an Anti-Sea Bear Circle, do really work.
