Bulgy Bears

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

They were 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).

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.

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, and again inside when everyone was discussing Peter's proposed duel with Miraz.
