==Strategy/Usage==
This cat acts in a very similar way to Swordsman Cat—a cheap, disposable, short-ranged specialist attacker with extreme devastation in his niche. He trades off a good attack rate for Area Attack, making him more efficient against groups of weaker enemies and a lot less against heavy pushers. Due to his targets and range, his use is limited to a handful of enemies, however he absolutely crushes said enemies.
All forms have the same stats (apart from the Evolved Form's speed increase) and are usable, so change form according to the situation.
===Normal Form===
Teacher BearCat has a whopping 40k damage per hit at level 30, shredding most Traitless enemies. He works great against bulky enemies like Bore Jr, Wild Doge, Wall Doge, Dagshund, Otta-smack-u, Henry and Dolphina, quickly tearing down their high HP to relieve pressure on your other attackers. However, he has low range, making him useless against long-ranged/high DPS Traitless enemies with frequent attacks like buffed Master A., R.Ost, Camelle and numerous bosses. Despite this, he's great for taking down melee Traitless enemies and can be used in many stages.
===Evolved Form===
Assassin BearCat can absolutely demolish Black enemies, as most either have low range (such as Doge Dark) or a long attack frequency (Le'noir, Director Kurosawah, etc.), though most melee Black enemies have such high pushing power that you may have to freeze or slow them to keep him safe using the likes of Bombercat or other anti-Black crowd-controllers, as Assassin BearCat is outranged by many of them. He's effective as a Tackey killer because of his high speed, letting him slip into Tackey's blind spot and take off a significant portion of its health. Some notable exceptions to what he can easily kill are Shadow Boxer K with 158 range and a 2f windup attack, Ragin' Gory with a slightly higher range and freeze immunity, as well as the 800-range Assassin Bear's extreme DPS. Usually, there are better units like Pizza Cat for the job, though on 4-crown difficulty he can work as a substitute at times.
===True Form===
Cadaver BearCat excels at defeating all short-ranged Zombies (Zoge, Zroco, Znache, The Thrillerz, Zuche, Coffin Zoge, Big Sal, Miss Haka, frozen/slowed Dread Bore, and Li'l Zyclone). For the case of Zory, Zang Roo, Zir Zeal, and Lord Gravey, their range would mean some timing in order for him to get a hit off. As always, he has no answer to higher-ranged Zombies like Cadaver Bear or Zamelle unless these Zombies are frozen or have the burrow ability, which allows Cadaver BearCat to catch them as they resurface and absorb a huge hit.
He can counter most of the same enemies as Li'l Flying Cat, though he doesn't outrange some of the peons, meaning he will have some serious trouble if used alone. He shines in his ability to hit Zombies in their burrowing animations where they are defenseless, or to deliver insane amounts of damage in a single hit which will swiftly finish them off, made possible with his short foreswing. A Li'l Flying Cat at 50+40 has to land three hits to deliver the same damage as a Cadaver BearCat at level 50, while Cadaver BearCat also has twice the DPS at a lower cost. Like Li'l Flying, he works great in 4-crown stages, where he can be put to great use by shredding Zombies before they cause too much trouble. In this aspect, Cat Chief competes with him due to having superior range to handle more peons (can consistently outrange them and stay alive), Soulstrike and Mini-Waves, though both can be used together to crush many Zombies with terrifying ease.

==Trivia==
*The Japanese name of the play Teacher BearCat stars in, "Forest Teacher Bear" (もりのクマ先生 Mori no Kuma-sensei), could be a throwback to the Nyanko Defence Force boss "Mr. Forest Bear" (森のクマさん Mori no Kuma-san).
*"Bear of the Living Dead" is a reference to the famous zombie film Night of the Living Dead.
**The Japanese name, "Forest Teacher Bear of THE END" (もりのクマ先生of THE END), could be a reference to the Japanese names of either Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Masou Kishin F – Coffin of the End or Yakuza: Dead Souls, being スーパーロボット大戦OGサーガ 魔装機神F COFFIN OF THE END or 龍が如くOF THE END respectively.
*Teacher BearCat, Ancient Egg: N006, Mighty Aethur Ltd. and Ultimate Windy are the only non-Legend Rares to have the Insane Damage ability.
