Papa Bear is a bear. He has yellow eyes, except his left eye is scarred and blind, and he has grayish brown fur. He wears a yellow knitted scarf around his neck. He is a member of the Three Bears Crime Family, with his wife, Mama Bear, and also his biological son, Baby Bear, along with his adoptive human daughter, Goldilocks. Even though Papa holds a fierce and rough exterior, he can be surprisingly polite and gentlemanly as well, but he can be vicious too. He cares about his family a lot.
