NicknameGrizz
SpeciesNorth American brown bear
GenderMale

Grizzly (nickname "Grizz") is a grizzly bear. The oldest and the de facto leader of the Bears, Grizzly is a fun-loving bear who tends to get the others into wacky and uncharacteristic situations. Grizzly is paradoxically highly sociable yet socially inept. Despite this, he is constantly wanting to meet new people and tries to befriend everyone he comes across. As a baby, he was rescued by a team of firemen who prevented him from falling off a tree-top during a storm (as such, he has a phobia of being in trees, which he states in "Paperboyz"). Afterward, he was adopted by a studio and starred in a Canadian sitcom called Family Troubles of which he was the star and known for his catchphrase "That's not what I ordered!" The show added a new character named Cousin Lorenzo whom Grizzly immediately disliked. After winning in a race against him, Grizzly suddenly realized that his fake family never offered true happiness or love and decided to leave the show to search for a family of his own, turning down fame and fortune in the process. It seems that he was younger than in most baby bear episodes in the flashback pictures in "Burrito." It was mentioned by Ice Bear that Grizzly writes poems in English, as well as being a DJ and a beatboxer. He also created a series of cheesy homemade action movies with himself starring as Crowbar Jones. Despite Grizzly's desire to be loved by everyone, he still puts his brothers first and foremost and can't bear to be separated from them. He has a strange love-hate relationship with Nom Nom, whom he looks up to due to his popularity, yet acknowledges that he can be mean and sometimes untrustworthy. He also has an odd relationship with Ranger Tabes who usually calls on him to assist her with the Poppy Rangers, most likely due to the fact that since he is a grizzly bear and in theory, it makes sense that he would know a lot about nature, though it has been shown that this is not the case. In the episode "Bunnies", Grizzly is shown to be capable of speaking to other animals as most of them, who display self-awareness and occasional human behavior, aren't able to speak English.

SpeciesPolar bear
GenderMale

Ice Bear is a

Russian man named Yuri after his mother was suggested to have been killed by poachers. This is how he learned Russian, and because Yuri spoke exclusively in the third person, this is most likely how Ice Bear obtained the habit. He earned accommodation by doing chores, and Yuri taught him how to use the axe, cook, fix machinery, knit, play Uno with standard cards, as Ice ends up teaching Yuri calculus. He was cut adrift into the ocean when Yuri had to let him go to save him from the poachers, and the ice floated away from the mainland. He is multilingual, having been shown to speak Korean, French, Japanese (on "Losing Ice") and Russian fluently. Ice Bear also is able to speak to pigeons in the episode "Our Stuff." He is also a skilled chef, dancer, piano player, roboticist and engineer, charade player (on "My Clique"; it was revealed on "The Island" that he learned to speak very late, and originally used his charades skills to communicate), poet (which he writes in French), ice skater and a mixed martial artist (cited as Brazilian jiu-jitsu on "Chloe", but his skill set is closer to Taekwondo and judo with skills in Nunchaku, Shuriken
and swords and ninja stars). In "I Am Ice Bear", he suffers a head injury and is able to speak properly. Ice Bear is the most composed of the brothers, always maintaining an "ice-cool attitude" in even the most awkward and embarrassing of situations. As seen in "Losing Ice" and "Coffee Cave", his brothers often take him for granted and are unappreciative of all the cooking and cleaning he does, although they eventually realize the error of their ways. Ice Bear sleeps in the refrigerator with a fire axe which he can use with either hand. Of the Three Bears, he has the closest relationship with Chloe, almost acting as a quiet big brother to her.

According to the episode "Road Trip", Ice Bear's height is 6'2" (1.88 m).

Chloe Park is an 10-year-old girl of Korean descent who first met and befriended the Bears while attempting to study them. A child prodigy, she attends college but doesn't have many friends other than the bears and has a hard time relating to her much older classmates. In "My Clique," Chloe finally makes some friends with her college classmates, albeit with the help of the Bears. In the same episode, she is revealed to be bilingual. Chloe devotes most of her time to studying in the hopes of having a secure future and becomes stressed when it seems like she is on the verge of failing as evidenced in "The Library" and "Professor Lampwick". Despite fully knowing that the bears mean well, their antics sometimes stress her too. At one point she was nearly driven insane by the Bears when they got sick in the episode "Bear Flu" due to them asking for things. Nevertheless, she adores them and will often rely on them for help. She has shown to be involved in their misadventures such as in "The Demon" and "Road Trip". She also has an interesting connection with Ice Bear due to his quiet persona meshed with her more open personality as seen in "Chloe and Ice Bear". Of the Three Bears, she is most often seen with him.

SpeciesKoala
GenderMale

Nom Nom is a misanthropic self-centered koala. He is a famous internet star, known for his cute videos and the main antagonist during the two first seasons, starting a slow redemption from the third season onward. While he doesn't talk in any of his videos, Nom Nom often yells angrily towards everyone he comes in contact with, especially the Bears. Grizzly imposes him enough to talk to him and admits that he liked his video, but Nom Nom is self-centered and more concerned with materialistic things, and is very selfish and lashes out at anyone who he doesn't like. One example being in "The Nom Nom Show" where he was unwilling to share the spotlight with the Bears, despite the positive reception they received. In "Viral Video", Nom Nom says that he does not want any friends because he finds them unimportant and too loud, and proves his point by kicking Grizzly out of his limo. His temper is so short, he lashes out at anyone who even slightly annoys him. In "Anger Management", it's revealed that Grizzly's hugs genuinely calm him to the point of making him optimistic and friendly. He has further shown a more tolerant side. In "Nom Nom's Entourage", he saves a picture of his time with the Bears and in "Kyle", opened his home to another koala who claimed to be his brother. In "Vacation", he finally admits that Grizzly is the closest thing to a friend he has. In "Crowbar Jones: Origins", Nom Nom is shown to be more tolerant of Grizzly though he still finds him a nuisance.

Full nameDana Tabes
SpeciesHuman
GenderFemale

Ranger Dana Tabes is a park ranger. She lives in a trailer-style mobile home located in the park where the Bears live. They first meet her in "Ranger Tabes" where she helps them locate a missing package. She is shown to be overly confident, persistent and even downright obsessive with wanting to help people. Her obsession is explored in "Creature Mysteries" where she tries to capture and prove Charlie's existence. In that same episode, it's revealed that her mother was also a park ranger and the one who inspired her to become one. Her obsession is also prominent in "Poppy Rangers" where she was willing to lead a team of girl scouts, called the Poppy Rangers, into a dangerous cave, against Grizzly's urging. Despite her quirky personality, the Bears consider her one of their closest friends and are shown to be dependent on her as seen in "Ranger Norm". Out of the Three Bears, Tabes seems to be with Grizzly the most and usually has him around as an assistant to help in leading the Poppy Rangers. Based on how much she relies on him, they seem to have mutual respect for each for other. In "Ranger Games", it is revealed that she has a rival in the form of Ranger Zhao (voiced by Ming-Na Wen) who leads her own group of girl scouts called the Ivy Rangers. In "Bear Squad", Tabes is shown to possess deduction skills to the level of identifying animals and people by a limited amount of evidence. In the same episode, it is revealed that she is banned from doing any ranger work in the city. Over time, Tabes is shown to have calmed down a bit, though she still takes her job very seriously. She has even learned to be more surveillant with her duties and upon knowledge of Charlie's true existence has opted to watch and protect him from afar. By the end of "Rescue Ranger", she mildly becomes friends with Charlie and, like the Bears, decides to keep him a secret. Eventually, the two become good friends after he helps her finds her dog Kirk in "Tabes & Charlie".

Lucy is a friend to the Bears and runs a produce delivery service called Lucy's Produce. She first appears in "Panda's Date" where she saves Panda's life when he has an allergic reaction to peanut cookies, afterwards she takes an immediate liking to the Bears and their goofy personalities. Panda quickly (as usual) develops a crush on her, but she seems to be unaware of his feelings. She finally returns in season 3 episode, "Lucy's Brother" where it is revealed that she delivers fruit to the Bears every Friday. In that same episode, she is shown to have a younger brother named Clifford whom she cares for and worries over immensely. She is also shown to be a terrible dancer, something which Panda was nervous telling her about. Despite being oblivious to Panda's feelings for her, the two share a mutual friendship. In "The Limo", Lucy begins dating Kale (voiced by Omid Abtahi) which upsets Panda, but he ultimately sees that her happiness is what matters.

Minor

Pigeon Cartel

The Pigeon Cartel is composed of pigeons who are actually an underground illegal trading ring. They are the closest thing to arch-enemies the Bears have and first appeared in "Our Stuff". They stole the Bears' items, which included Grizzly's wallet, Panda's cell phone and Ice Bear's ninja stars, along with a wide variety of other expensive and important items around the city. The Bears unintentionally landed in their hideout where the cartel or at least a subgroup of them were arrested. In "Pigeons", they are revealed to have a member in their ranks named Brenda whom Grizzly ends up befriending. Brenda actually tricks Grizzly into helping her free her gang from prison, or rather the pigeon coup inside the prison, she ultimately has a change of heart due to Grizzly's kindness.

Chloe's Family

  • Richard Park (voiced by Jinkoo Jeong) is Chloe's father. He was initially reserved about Chloe hanging out with the Bears, but warms up to their presence in "Slumber Party". He is bilingual.
  • Winifred Park (voiced by Niki Yang) is Chloe's mother. She is very supportive of Chloe's friendship with the Bears as evidenced when she makes sandwiches for them in "Chloe and Ice Bear". She is bilingual.
  • Jon Park (voiced by Bert Youn) is Chloe's cousin. He appeared in "Christmas Parties" where is shown to be rather cocky and doesn't get along with Chloe very well. He has a habit of pranking her every chance he gets and always gets away with it.
  • Tall (voiced by Wallace Shawn) is Chloe's brother. He first appeared in Chloe's Brother. He is the only one in the Park family to neither have the last name "Park" nor to speak Korean. He is a crane instead of a human.

Farmer

Farmer (voiced by Kyler Spears) is Nom Nom's personal bodyguard. He was initially known as Bodyguard #1 due to his primary task of protecting Nom Nom who in turn didn't think much of him. However, this all changed in the episode "Kyle" where it is shown that Farmer genuinely cares for Nom Nom's security when he suspected that the titular koala was trying to scam Nom Nom. After rescuing his employer, Nom Nom became more aware of him and asked for his real name, calling him Farmer from that point on.

Rangers

  • Kirk O’Brian (voiced by Christopher McGurrin) is a dog that Tabes was given as a Christmas present by the Bears in "Christmas Parties". In "Lunch with Tabes," he is shown to be rather clever and mischievous. In "Tabes & Charlie", he is revealed to have fathered three pups with a wolf.
  • Ranger Martinez (voiced by Keith Ferguson) is Tabes' partner. He has been a park ranger since Tabes was a child and was initially her mother's partner. In his old age, he is always prone to sleep and is shown to be rather laid back. He is also very friendly with the Bears.
  • Poppy Rangers are the team of girl scouts that Ranger Tabes, and to a certain extent Grizzly, lead in a variety of tasks and activities. Their ranks include Diaz (voiced by Marissa Soto), a "curious and witty" girl who aspires to be a biologist; Parker (voiced by Danity Harris), a "quiet and confidant" girl who aspires to be an aeronautical engineer; Murphy (voiced by Stella Balick-Karrer), a "cheerful and patient" girl who aspires to be a geologist; Nguyen (voiced by Audrey Huynh) another "quiet and confident" girl who aspires to be a principal dancer and Wallace (voiced by Cate Gragnani) an eye-patch wearing "fearless...born leader" who aspires to be a park ranger like Tabes. It is unknown whether Wallace has only injured her eye or lost it, only stating that "it was worth it". The girls unanimously trust Tabes' leadership and advice, but also adore Grizzly whom they affectionately call 'Bear Guy', even though they are well aware of his flaws such as in "Lord of the Poppies" and even admit that he is terrible at leading as seen in "ranger games". In the former episode, their rivals, the Ivy Rangers, as well as Wallace's younger sister Chuck Wallace are introduced.

Clifford

Clifford (voiced by Hudson West) is Lucy's younger brother. He has many allergies and has trouble socializing with others. He constantly wanders off and is very shy. He starts to like Panda once he is considered a friend. He is also very defensive of his sister, seen as he is aware that many boys use him as an attempt to get close to her and gets mad at Panda for doing so. Fortunately, he and Panda reconcile and consider each other close friends.

Darrell

Darrell Saragosa (voiced by Mel Rodriguez) a 35-year-old man, is a friend to the Bears and owns a mousepad store called Super Rad Mousepads. He first appears in "Losing Ice" where he answers a want ad from Grizzly and Panda asking for a replacement for the missing Ice Bear. He happily takes the job, despite the harsh conditions, and later makes them realize their error in taking Ice Bear for granted. He lives with his grandma, Emma, who apparently does most of his cooking. He returns in "Bear Lift" where the Bears help his fledgling business, a mousepad dealer. It's also shown that in his youth his store was once booming and brought people together, but over time it began to wear away. By the end, the Bears help bring the store back due to its 'retro' appeal. In "Best Bears" Darrell marries Sofia (voiced by Brigitte Kali Canales), a hang gliding instructor and fashion designer who thinks that he and the Bears are cool.

Yana

Yana (voiced by Margarita Levieva) is a Russian woman with dark connections to Ice Bear. She is a strong woman with a sentimental side to her as well. She and Ice Bear have known each other for a long time and have been saving each other across the world in unexplained circumstances. Yana first appeared in "Icy Nights" where she briefly helped Ice Bear look for his Roomba. She returns in "Icy Nights II" where she is kidnapped by Barry, a tech genius who is after the Roomba. At the end of the episode, it's revealed that Yana's father is Yuri, the same man who raised Ice Bear. It's unknown whether Yuri is still in contact with her or knows that she's still alive.

Barry

Barry Charles (voiced by Kevin McHale) is a technical expert and Ice Bear's nemesis. He leads a gang of techies and is involved in illegal activities. His main goal is to steal Ice Bear's Roomba due to the technical specifications it possesses. The reason for doing this is so that he can earn the approval of his father (voiced by Keith David), something that is a sore spot for him. It's unknown what happened to him, it presumed he and his father were arrested off screen for their crime.

Marie

Marie (voiced by Edi Patterson) is a web show host that the Bears occasionally watch. She hosts the show Mornings with Marie off from the website Everyone's Tube. She tends to report on all the latest crazes and current things usually from the internet such as Nom Nom and Panda's sudden popularity like in "Panda's Sneeze". Marie also hosts the Cute-Off, a competition where two animals from viral videos participate.

The Bros

The Bros are the human doppelgangers to the Bears. They first appeared in "Panda's Friend". They fittingly display qualities similar to the actual Bears, and also achieve things that the Bears want.

  • Tom (voiced by Bert Youn) is Panda's counterpart. He is a small, presumably Asian, man, who wears glasses and typically wears a black hoodie with a white stripe going through it so as to resemble a panda. He, just like Panda, loves Korean dramas and anime and is apparently a 97% match to Panda according to an app. He becomes way too attached to Panda and kidnaps him from his home and moves him into his apartment. When he realizes how obsessive he has become, he leaves (or rather falls) and meets his two future roommates Griff and Isaac. He is much more stable with the two and in "Bro Brawl" implies that they are his only real family as well. In that same episode, he states that he has a girlfriend.
  • Griff (voiced by Eric Edelstein in "Panda's Friend" and later by Faruq Tauheed) is Grizzly's counterpart. Griff is a "renegade" cop, later revealed to be a mall cop, who loves his job and is capable of helping people, as opposed to Grizzly who has no job and, while helpful, is socially awkward. He is a well-built African-American man who usually wears a blue shirt. He seems to care a lot about his roommates and in his first appearance was nervous about losing his home for not meeting the roommate quota until Tom literally dropped in. In "The Mall", he is shown to be very friendly with Grizzly.
  • Isaac (voiced by Demetri Martin) is Ice Bear's counterpart. Isaac is a "five-star chef" who, much like Ice Bear, is tall and quiet. He wears a white hoodie with the hood always over his head and his blonde bangs hanging out. When he speaks he follows Ice Bear's speech mannerisms by talking in the third person and in monotone. He sleeps in a walk-in closet, like how Ice Bear sleeps in a fridge and also seems to possess many outlandish abilities. In "Bro Brawl" he one ups Ice Bear in the cook-off when Ice mistakenly leaves a lock of hair in the dish he prepared. In "The Mall", he and Ice Bear seem to view each other as rivals, until at the end of the episode they have had to join forces to save Panda.

Captain Craboo

Captain Craboo is the Bears' pet crab whom they adopted in the episode "Emergency". He actually came from the supermarket which Grizzly went to buy food and immediately fell in love with the crab. Unfortunately, it pinches onto Ice Bear's ear causing him great pain. Grizzly and Panda eventually get Craboo off of Ice Bear and resort to giving him tiny mitts so that he doesn't pinch Ice Bear again. He returns in "Captain Craboo" where it is revealed that he has been gone for quite some time and that Ice Bear still has not forgiven him. However, the two later make up when the crab defends Ice and attacks Nom Nom, making Craboo a wanted fugitive. By the end of the episode, Craboo solemnly leaves the Bears when they release him into the ocean, with Ice Bear seeming to take his departure the hardest.

The Mailman

The Mailman (voiced by Keith Ferguson) is a friendly mailman that occasionally visits the Bears. He first appears in "Nom Nom" where he delivers a toy helicopter to the Bears. He falls into a pit where Ice Bear was trapped by Nom Nom. He shows that he doesn't mind the situation and also didn't seem to mind being left there. He returns in "Crowbar Jones" where he was invited to see the titular movie that Grizzly had made. He was easily impressed by it and based on his reactions, simply wishes to have friends. In "Citizen Tabes," he was also impressed with Tabes' packaging to the point that he was willing to listen to her ramble about how she did it. In "I, Butler", he was interested in playing basketball with the bears even though he creepily appeared from behind their bushes.

Mad Scientist

Mad Scientist (voiced by Jason Mantzoukas) is an unnamed scientist who is constantly plotting against the government. He first appears in "Grizz Helps" where Grizzly answers a want ad for someone to aid him in traveling back in time. He was going to use a chicken named Mark as a test subject and Grizzly had to rescue him for its owner. The scientist reappeared in "Summer Love" with a pelican assistant named Gary and tried to use a body swapping machine on Panda. He revealed that he once had a girlfriend named Amelia who joined the space program, implying one of the reasons he kept conspiring against the government.

Ralph

Ralph (voiced by John DiMaggio) is a yeti who enjoys playing cruel pranks on humans and animals. He first appears in the episode of the same name where Charlie befriends him due to being a creature just like him, despite the Bears gaining distrust of Ralph due to his mean nature. He ends up abandoning Charlie when the latter refuses to let a group of humans fall off a bridge as part of a prank, considering him a "snooze-fest". He appears again in "Ice Cave" where he takes over the Bears' cave and freezes its interior, ruling it like a king. He usually puts Charlie down due to his lanky body and pushover personality, but Charlie stands up to him and puts Ralph in his place.

Dr. Clark

Dr. Clark (voiced by Avery Kidd Waddell) is a medical nurse and Nom Nom's personal doctor. He first appeared in "Charlie's Big Foot" where he treated Charlie's foot after it broke. He is shown to have a very unusual bedside manner in that he has a very lethargic and slightly disinterested way of speaking. However, he is shown to take his job seriously and looked aghast at seeing Charlie's blood. He returned in "Vacation" where he acted as Nom Nom's personal doctor. His diagnosis was that he was stressed and prescribed that he take a vacation with Grizzly acting as his coach. Once again, Dr. Clark delivered all of this in a lethargic disinterested attitude. In "Braces", he is revealed to also serve as a dentist and possesses numerous doctoral degrees.

Guests

Paul and Annie

Paul (voiced by Lou Ferrigno) and Annie (voiced by Grey Griffin) are a married couple that appeared in "Yard Sale". Annie is a woman who was first seen to be heavily pregnant. She sold a box of free things to the Bears at a yard sale she had set up. The things in question were large foam toy fists (which Grizzly begins wearing only for them to get stuck to his paws), her husband Paul's phone (which Panda mistakenly takes and begins sending texts unknowingly to Annie) and a pregnancy workout DVD (which Ice Bear begins watching and using to work out). Paul, who resembles a large well-built man, jumps to conclusions at Panda using his phone to message his wife and threatens him, but becomes nervous and faints when Annie goes into labor. The Bears band together to get Annie and Paul to the hospital where she successfully gives birth to a baby boy that somehow manages to remove the fake hands off of Grizzly.

Professor Lampwick

Professor Lampwick (voiced by Malcolm McDowell)[8] is Chloe's science professor at the university and he is introduced in his self-titled episode. Lampwick is a tall, lean older man with a sinister and stern personality. He has a notorious reputation for being a difficult professor who refuses second chances with his students. Chloe gets so intimidated by him that she fails her course causing her much grief. However, the Bears decide to kidnap him and bring him back to the cave in an effort to force him to give Chloe a second chance. Lampwick proves to be crafty as he turns the Bears against one another, forcing Chloe to step up and demand a second chance, which he grants. When Chloe passes, Lampwick reveals that he can untie his own bonds and has just been testing her, admitting that she is not the first student to "kidnap [him] over a grade." He briefly returns in "Hurricane Hal" where he is shown to have an omniscient presence as the narrator, capable of explaining exactly what each of the Bears is doing and apparently is aware of who Charlie is.

Andy Bangs

Andrew "Andy" Bangs (voiced by Bo Burnham)[9] is a child internet star and Nom Nom's main rival who appeared in "Nom Nom's Entourage". Andy's name is a pun on the fact that his videos consist mostly of him popping out of places and shouting "Bang!" and that he has dyed bangs. He takes great pleasure in humiliating and outsmarting Nom Nom using his trademark surprise gimmick. One thing he has over Nom Nom is the fact that he is constantly surrounded by his entourage, which Nom Nom lacks forcing him to hire the Bears. Nom eventually manages to get back at Andy by surprising him with his signature "Bang!".

Karla and Dave

Karla (voiced by Felicia Day) and Dave (voiced by Jake Johnson) are a pair of castaways that the Baby Bears encounter in "The Island". The Baby Bears are rescued from quicksand by Karla and Dave who have been shipwrecked on the island for some unspecified amount of time. All that is known is that they came separately. Karla mostly misses her sister whom she loves very much and forms a motherly bond with the Baby Bears, while Dave displays a slightly disinterested attitude. It eventually becomes clear that Dave has been misleading Karla and the Baby Bears and that he wants Karla to stay with him alone. The Baby Bears rescue Karla from Dave and escape on an inflatable raft they found, leaving Dave all alone. Karla is rescued by a passing ship, but the Baby Bears float on until they end up in Japan.

Yuri

Yuri (voiced by Darin De Paul)[10] is an old Russian man who lived out in the arctic as a hermit survivalist, until he met Baby Ice Bear in the episode "Yuri and the Bear". A tall, large bearded man who much like Baby Ice Bear, had a tendency to speak in the third person, Yuri lived in a life of solitude after losing his family to some unknown causes. He took Baby Ice Bear under his wing and, after some initial reluctance to have him, taught him everything that he knew. They were confronted by a hunter, who is implied to have killed Baby Ice Bear's family, and Yuri is forced to cut Ice Bear away from land to save him. In "Icy Nights II", it is revealed that Yuri is Yana's father.

Wyatt

Wyatt (voiced by Ron Funches)[11] is the overtly kind leader of a bike gang in "Road Trip". Wyatt is a random individual that Chloe and the Bears encounter while on their way to see a meteor shower. He displays a slightly lethargic, yet kind and joking attitude that gets him an invitation from Grizzly, Panda, and Chloe to hitch a ride with them as he claims to have lost his bike gang, much to Ice Bear's annoyance. Eventually, Ice Bear manages to drive off without him, only to have the car run out of gas. Wyatt shows up with his gang and they offer to get them gas. Later on, he joins Chloe and the Bears in watching the meteor shower.

Warren and Faye

Warren (voiced by Robert Clotworthy) and Faye (voiced by Frances Conroy) are a friendly elderly couple who live in a RV in the woods somewhere near where the Bears live. They appear in the episode "Neighbors" and are depicted as an overtly kind couple who immediately take joy in conversing with the Bears. While Panda and Ice Bear find them pleasant, Grizzly, having watched a docu-series on serial killers, finds them suspicious when he overhears them talking about him. That night, the Bears see them chopping down wood with Grizzly's photo on it, which seems to confirm Grizzly's worst fears and the Bears panic and plan to spy on the couple. They end up finding knives and other cutting instruments in the couple's RV, along with a wall full of pictures of the Bears. However, it is revealed that the two are woodcarving fanatics and simply want the Bears as models for their hobby. They forgive the Bears for their snooping after the Bears agree to their request. Warren and Faye are named after Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

Esteller

Esteller or Estellar, as spelled in the credits, (voiced by Estelle) is a famous pop song singer who Panda and Tom are huge fans of. She appears in the episode "The Mall" where she arrives at the titular location to personally sign autographs for her fans, whom she affectionately refers to as her "starlings". Esteller is moved by Panda and Tom's willingness to let their limited-edition shirts be ruined to help others. She thanks them and gives them new signed shirts while politely berating the other fans who had cut in line and had chased Panda and Tom around by telling them, "Don't be jerks." Estelle sings the series' theme song and appears as herself in the episode "More Everyone's Tube," where she sings the full version of the song.

Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley appears as himself in the episode "Baby Bears Can't Jump". He is a famous basketball player that the Baby Bears admire when they find a basketball card about him.

T-Pain

Rapper T-Pain appears as himself in the episode "The Limo". It is revealed that he watches Grizzly's Crowbar Jones series. Panda is a fan of the rapper.

Monsta X

The K-pop group Monsta X appear as themselves appear in the episode "Panda's Birthday". The group comprises seven members: Shownu, Wonho, Minhyuk, Kihyun, Hyungwon, Jooheon, and I.M. Panda is a fan of the K-pop group, but Grizzly and Ice Bear are not, since they mixed up the group with another metal rock group called Monsta S.

Agent Trout

Agent Trout (voiced by Marc Evan Jackson) is the main antagonist of We Bare Bears: The Movie. He is a corrupt agent of the National Wildlife Control who is obsessed with "maintaining the natural order".
