**Bark the Polar Bear**, is both a fictional character and deuteragonist of the *SKB's* *Sonic Pokémon* series created by Yuji Naka and Ken Sugimori. He is an anthropomorphic light beige polar bear, and a silent mercenary brute.

Super strong and skilled in combat, Bark is the muscle of Team Hooligans and a formidable agent to Dr. Eggman who employs him, Nack and Bean at various times. While he pursues a criminal career, he is not least without some honor.

### Physical Appearance

Bark is a mobian light beige-furred mobian polar bear, and possesses a heavy and bulky lower body and is rather tall. His long muzzle is peach with a pointy black nose, and he has a triangular patch of white fur on his chest, round ears with peach canals on top of his head, shoulder-length fur around his neck, and wears his hair in a ponytail.

#### Past

Originally, Bark was shorter and stubbier. He had black eyes, three locks of hair on his forehead, slightly thin, but muscular arms and short and thin legs. For attire, Bark wore an orange and red toque that had holes that allow his ears to poke out, a green scarf, a pair of brown mittens with yellow tips on the fingers and red wrist straps, and a pair of brown-toed orange and black boots with gray soles, red straps and yellow shoelaces.

#### Present

In the present day, he has since grown taller and bulkier than Sonic and most of the other characters, has two locks of hair on his forehead, and developed red eyes. For attire, he wears an orange and red beanie that has holes that allow his round ears with peach canals to poke out, as well as a green scarf. Completing his outfit are a pair of brown and yellow mittens and a pair of brown-toed orange boots with gray soles and red cuffs.

## Personality

"*You're really a big sweetie deep down, aren't you?*"

—Amy, to Bark.
For the most part Bark seems to be blunt and quiet due of being a shy guy, and although he hangs out with the wrong crowd in the form of Nack and Bean, he still maintains his (secretly) gentle nature. While ferocious, he is rather level-headed and not stupid, and knows when to strategize. Like Bean, Bark seems to have taken a path not entirely in harmony with his nature, as there is some genuine good in him.

He also has some sense of honor, though somewhat misplaced, as shown by his willing servitude to the pirates following their rescue of him. He also appeared fairly reluctant to interfere with the Chaotix and Knuckles after learning that they were attempting to restore the world to normal. Of course, he is also more than willing to sell out to the highest bidder, or to return to a former employer if things go wrong.

Bark is shown to not get needlessly physical unless he is forced or provoked into, preferring instead to restrain and/or immobilize his opponents using his brute strength. When pushed over the edge, however, he becomes a wild and aggressive opponent.

## Abilities and Powers

Bark's main possessed asset is his immense brute super strength and serves as the muscle of Team Hooligans, which easily allows him to match the likes of Sonic and Knuckles, and allows him to flatten opponents and deal maximum damage with little effort. Bark is also a good close-range expert fighter in hand-to-hand combat, matching the likes of renowned fighters like Sonic and Knuckles.

Bark also has the ability to harness energy from the Chaos Emeralds to bolster his innate abilities, allowing him to enter Hyper Mode. His fighting style specializes in brute strength with grappling throws and powerful punches, though he does utilize a few combo attacks. He is similarly very durable, being unaffected by the blows from Amy's hammer and remaining conscious after taking a blow to the head from Knuckles.

He is also an incredible hand-to-hand combatant, being capable of matching a fighting expert like Knuckles blow for blow.

### Weapons

In battle, Bean is capable of throwing an endless amount of bombs for his amusement and defense.

## History

### Past

Sometime in the past, Bark became part of the trio known as Team Hooligans, though he developed closer ties to Bean than to Nack. At some point, they apparently became involved in a contest over one of the Sol Emeralds that involved Team Rose and the Babylon Rogues. Bark and his cohorts would also visit Empire City to pull a job, only to fail and get themselves arrested.
