Hiking Bear

Japanese name:

ハイキングベア

A Hiking Bear is a giant white orthograde bear from Drum Island known as a mountain climber. It appears to be completely bipedal without outside aid, the walking stick seems to be just an accessory for its hiking activities. The accepted manner in dealing with one is to just bow to it as a respectable mountain climber and leave it be. In the 4Kids dub, it was called a mountain climber since he ate the latest one. They first appeared in Chapter 133 and Episode 80. Hiking Bears are type "A" creatures being "Big Friendly".

When passing a Hiking Bear, you are to bow to it in the respectable mountain-climbing fashion. If you refrain from the gesture, you will be subjugated to sitting in the traditional Japanese position for one hour. People have experienced massive leg cramps while undergoing this torture.
