Enemy

The bearbershop quintet, now in color! Compared to the Audience Bears, they are slower, have fewer knockbacks and do less damage with each attack, but don't let that fool you into thinking they're harmless. They can Knockback, Freeze, Slow, Weaken, and/or Warp any unit in their large attack range, and thanks to their multi-hit ability, they have three separate chances for all of these status effects. While still not much of a threat by themselves, they can easily cripple your units (or remove them from the field entirely), allowing other enemies to advance unimpeded. Their greatest weakness is the number of traits they have, giving the player no shortage of units that can deal effective damage or status effects on them, assuming they can get into range.

Trivia

• Their Japanese name, Rainbow Bear Talk, is a reference to the comedy-focused talk show Ametalk, which has a rainbow as its logo.
• Each one bears resemblances to a different member of a Japanese comedy duo:
  • Red = Kaneko "KAZLASER" Kazunori of Maple Chogōkin (same haircut, wears red)
  • Black = Daiko "Miyazon" Miyazono of Anzen Manzai (same guitar and haircut)
  • Angel = Seiya Ishikawa of Shimofuri Myojo (same necktie, wears a white suit)
  • Alien = Kazuhiro Unagi of Ginshari (same haircut, suit and tie)
  • Zombie = Natsu Ando of Maple Chogōkin (chubby, same glasses, similar haircut, wears purple)
    • This is alluded to by the Japanese stage names in Bears be Bare and Bears Be Back, most of which are related to comedy.
    • This also makes them the character with the most references.
• If one looks very closely, they can see that during the Variety Bears' attack animation, the guitar stays in the Miyazon-Bear's paw even though it has no opposable thumbs.
• They have the most traits of any enemy, only lacking the Traitless, Metal, Aku and Relic traits.
• They are the only Angel enemy to also be Floating, contradicting Angel Fanboy's message of "Angel Alert! Angels ignore anti-Floating attacks!".
• They and Johnnyleon are the only Zombie enemies not to revive.
  • Despite their inability to revive, the Zombie Killer sound and graphic will play if they are defeated by a cat with that ability.
• Satan Claus, Gorilliam and Variety Bears are the only Unstarred Aliens to have the Warp ability.
  • Incidentally, all three were introduced in Lucky Ticket G events.
