==Overview==

|-|Appearance=
=== Appearance ===
polb appears to be a low-quality white bear that is short and stubby with two beady eyeballs, simplified legs, short ears, and a nose. The GIF shows the bear walking quickly. This bot was compressed in .GIF because of the dithering effect.
The in-game animated image is sped up for the timing.
|-|Audio=
=== Audio ===
polb emits a distorted chiptune song for the Proximity audio while the Jumpscare audio is the same as cat, beagle, maxwell, and racon.

==Origin==

=== Image ===
polb's image originates all the way back from Animation Factory, which shows an archive from 2000. https://web.archive.org/web/20000817183230/http://www.animfactory.com/af_animals_bears_page_ae.html The GIF was also found on an 2002 website alongside with most GeoCities sites, "Beartracker's Animal Tracks Den", which can be found here. (You have to find this GIF by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the page.) This is the oldest known usage of the polar bear GIF before the spread of the meme, ranging in mid-2016, late 2016, and late 2018. Polar Bear GIF | Know Your Meme
|-|Audio=
=== Audio ===
polb's in-game Proximity audio is Cats On Mars but heavily distorted and pixelated.
polb's suggested proximity audio is the same, but without the audio distortion and pixelation. 
polb's Jumpscare audio comes from an audio called Audio-catjumpscare, which is the same jumpscare audio as beagle, cat, maxwell, racon and Шайлушай.

==Trivia== 
* Valentin20170418, an administrator on the wiki, published this idea on November 19th, 2022, in #nextbots-suggestions. Originally, polb would be named "polar bear", the Jumpscare audio would be a polar bear roaring, and it would spawn in nn_backrooms. 
*Its in-game gif is faster than the original just like in real-life, they walk much slower so in game, they walk very fast to catch up to players.
