Enemy

The bearbershop quintet, now in color. Compared to the Audience Bears, they are slower, have less knockbacks and do even less damage with each attack, but don't let that fool you into thinking they're harmless. They can knockback, Stop, 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), 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

• Each one bears a resemblance 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 haircut and guitar)
  • Angel = Seiya Ishikawa of Shimofuri Myojo (same necktie and 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.
• They have the most traits of any enemy, only lacking the Metal and Relic traits.
• They defy the Angel Fanboy's message, which says that Floating and Angel are mutually exclusive traits; the rule doesn't apply on this case and only this case.
• Variety Bears 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.
• 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.
