Bulgy Bears

The Three Bulgy Bears were Old Narnians who lived in hiding during the Telmarine Age of Narnia.

They were described as brown Bears, who were possibly family, and were very large and bulgy, hence the name, with little eyes.

They were often very sleepy, always sleeping in late, but were very kind and likeable creatures.

This particular family of bears were very strong, friendly and intelligent, but could also be very calm creatures, and frightened easily.

They lived together in an old, hollow oak tree, somewhere in the Shuddering Wood, and loved to eat honey (like most bears).

Biography
When they first met Caspian X, they accepted him as king (although they told everyone to go away at first, as it wasn't their time to get up yet), offered him some honey, and then gave him some very wet and snuffly kisses.

It was tradition in Narnia that a bear was a Marshal of the Lists, and one of the Bulgy Bears served in this position for High King Peter during his duel with Miraz.

He had one notable problem, which was that he kept sucking his paw, no matter how many times people kept reminding him that it did not look very intimidating. Even King Peter tried to dissuade him from doing it, but without any success.

Film Adaption
In the Prince Caspian (Disney movie), the only appearance made of a bear was at the Dancing Lawn, roaring at Caspian, before accepting him as his king.

He was seen again at the entrance to Aslan's How, when the troops returned from the Battle of Miraz's Castle, though it's possible this could have been another bear altogether.

Later, when everyone was inside Aslan's How, discussing Peter's proposed duel with Miraz, while Lucy went to go look for Aslan, the bear was apparently part of this discussion, although he didn't contribute much to it.

When everyone decided whether or not they should go ahead with the plan, Reepicheep and the bear both stood up and said, "For Aslan", signifying their support of it.

He was also present at the duel between Peter and Miraz, seen in the background, sucking his paw.

His last appearance was when the Pevensies finally returned back home to Earth, along with the Telmarines. He waved goodbye to them, as they passed through the portal archway.

Trivia

 * According to an action figure, the Bulgy bear in the Prince Caspian film had been given the name Bultitude, which is also the name of a bear featured in the third book of C.S. Lewis's "Space Trilogy; That Hideous Strength".


 * There was a deleted scene featured on the Prince Caspian DVD, where the bear was asking Peter to be his Marshal of the List. Peter granted his request, but asked him to kindly stop sucking his paw...which the bear found difficult to do.
