**Happy Teddy Bear** **(T-04-06)** - known as **A Teddy Bear** before reaching Observation Lvl. 2 - is a large, worn-out teddy bear with a chewed ear, a single white button eye, a black hole in place of the other eye, brown matted fur, a light brown muzzle, and a faded green bowtie around its neck. Its stuffing spills out from multiple tears in its fabric.

## Ability

Its special ability is activated when the same employee works on Happy Teddy Bear's containment twice in a row. The second time the employee enters the room it will hug the employee tightly, choking them to death. Triggering its ability will also consume 1 work. This can be avoided by alternating which employees are sent in to work with Happy Teddy Bear.

The employee trapped during the hug will enter into an 'Out of Control' state and will die only after the task waiting time ends. If the player ends the day before the employee's death is confirmed, the employee can survive for the next day.

## Origin

Happy Teddy Bear's story can be deciphered through the Flavour Text displayed when performing work on it.

Happy Teddy Bear was packaged in a big, decorated box for the birthday of a seven year old girl. Happy Teddy Bear enjoyed all the nights with the child, and fondly remembers all the hugs that she gave to it. As time passed, the child grew up, and Happy Teddy Bear was abandoned underneath a dresser. It never forgot the girl.

How Happy Teddy Bear 'came to life' is still unknown, as well as where it was found and how it arrived in the facility.

Happy Teddy Bear loves hugs, but for fear being abandoned again, it will not let the person hugging them go, squeezing them so tightly that they die from suffocation or crushing.

## Details

Happy Teddy Bear responds to the four works in order of best to worst:  Attachment,  Insight and  Repression, and  Instinct.

Like all Abnormalities, its energy output is determined by the number of PE Boxes (Positive Enkephalin boxes) at the end of the interaction.

Happy Teddy Bear's emotional state is divided into 3 sections:  Bad,  Normal, and  Good. Completing 0-5 E Boxes will cause it to feel  Distressed, completing 6-10 will cause it to feel  Normal, and 11-15 will make it  Happy. Its usual cooldown timer after a task is around 10 seconds.

**E.G.O. Weapon Bear Paws**

 **Requirements:**  **Fortitude** Level 2

It's evident that using this equipment recklessly will cause it to tear, so extra caution is needed. Some sympathetic employees felt sorry for it and asked for it to be repaired, however the outcome of the repairs was unforeseeable, so the proposal was rejected.
Do not underestimate the weapon’s power because of its fluffy exterior."

**E.G.O. Suit Bear Paws**

As with any other E.G.O, any attempt to stitch it up is ill advised. The memory that began with a warm embrace ended with abandonment.
The stuffing spilling out of it hangs miserably as if to represent the innocence that was forgotten over time."

## Story

* "An Abnormality that resembles a large, raggedy teddy bear. It's missing some fur and only has one eye."

* "The old ribbon around its neck hints that it may have received much affection from its previous owner. There is a name on the ribbon, but it is too tattered to be discernible. It seems that it knows it has been abandoned, and looks dejected."

* <Excerpt from Counseling Log>
"I was on the night patrol. I didn't feel the need to pay attention to Happy Teddy since it was harmless for the most part. I just looked inside the Containment Unit to check on it. Teddy was hugging someone tightly. I thought it was (Redacted), the employee who was in charge of Teddy for a while, working late. But something was odd. I entered the unit and called (Redacted)'s name, but they didn't answer. I immediately pressed the emergency button to call in reinforcement. Turns out, (Redacted) had been in a coma for 8 hours. They were in Teddy's arms the whole time." "

* <An Old Letter, Stamped with "Rejected">
"Remember what was written in the employee manual? "Do NOT have personal feelings towards Abnormalities." At first, I didn't get what that was supposed to mean. Does it even make sense to develop any emotion toward those monsters in the first place? It's okay. They are monsters.  Between the two of us, we can call them that. 'Happy Teddy Bear' was the second Abnormality you took charge of. I guess you must’ve thought that not all Abnormalities are monstrous after seeing it. The figure of an old, abandoned teddy bear may have brought up old memories of yours. Teddy seemed to like your hugs.Yeah, it would actually produce more energy when you were around. And in no time, they put you in charge of Teddy. You probably felt some kind of responsibility for it, right? I started getting worried as you visited Teddy's unit more and more often. It felt as if you were visiting an orphanage for volunteer work.
... *It seems Teddy saw you as its new owner.* *Maybe you'd have been happy to hear that.But, you see, Teddy never wanted to be separate from its owner ever again*
You probably always promised that you'd return. But it couldn't understand. I heard that you miraculously survived. And that they spent an hour trying to separate you from Teddy's embrace. Though others may forget about you. I will always remember you. May there be a miracle."

## Trivia

* Before the second observation level is reached, Happy Teddy Bear will be called "Teddy Bear".
* Even though the in-game sprite has been drawn with a chewed right ear and a button for its left eye, Happy Teddy Bear's encyclopedia image has been drawn with a chewed left ear and a button for its right eye instead (probably mirrored).
* The first letter in the subject number classifies it as '**T**rauma' due to its own story of being abandoned after the child who used to be with it grew up and left it behind, trying to not let go its next 'owner'. It's also possible that this Abnormality represents the fear of abandonment, loneliness, or the fear of dolls. In its connection to loneliness, it is similar to Old Lady.
* In Limbus Company, there is an Aberration of Happy Teddy Bear known as Hurting Teddy Bear, which appears to represent an abused toy instead of an abandoned toy.
