Padlock

Padlock is a bear that appears in Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear. Polly finds him in Lamonic Bibber crying, but Mr Gum and Billy William the Third kidnap him and make him dance for people's enjoyment. But Polly rescues him and they escape onboard the Nantucket Tickler. When Brendan Jawsnapper says that Polly (disguised as a boy) and Padlock (disguised as a cat) were the reason that everyone was up so late, the Captain discovers who they really are and puts them on a plank and leaves them for dead upon the ocean. But they are picked up by Jonathan Ripples in his hot-air balloon, Flavours of Discovery. The balloon crashes on the Kingdom of the Beasts, which happens to be where Mr Gum and Billy are also stranded. Padlock and the other bears make Mr Gum and Billy dance, and while Polly is telling them to stop, the villains seize their chance to escape upon their fishing boat. The balloon is repaired by the Spirit of the Rainbow, and Polly and Jonathan Ripples fly away, leaving Padlock at the Kingdom of the Beasts where he belongs.
