**Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear**, more commonly known as "**Lotso**" for short, is a member of the Legion of Mullac and is a recurring antagonist in the *Sean In The Vyond World* series. He was taken from the 2010 Disney and Pixar film *Toy Story 3*.

## Personality

At first, Lotso seemed like a caring, compassionate, friendly, and polite teddy bear, welcoming Woody and the gang with open arms, giving them a tour, and telling the toys that different kids at the daycare center would continue to play with them for years to come and that they would never get rejected. However, this was only a ruse as his true self is actually a tyrannical, cruel, selfish, sadistic, manipulative, and brutal control freak who regularly abused his position, despised children and toys alike, and ruled Sunnyside as a prison.

Lotso often imprisoned new toys in the Caterpillar Room so that he could test their ability to endure the misuse of the reckless and destructive children there until the broken toys are thrown away and send to the dump to their deaths, with no remorse for it. This nature was because according to Chuckles, Lotso was originally a good-natured and gentle bear, a friend of both Chuckles and Big Baby. He loved his owner Daisy as much as she loved him, as they did everything together.

However, when Daisy forgot them and replaced Lotso with another teddy bear, Lotso felt betrayed and heartbroken. The grief and anger meanwhile drove Lotso to develop a harsh expression of cynicism and a negative philosophy about being a toy, believing that they were nothing special and destined to get thrown out in the trash (which is somewhat accurate considering the fact that toys tend to be given away and sometimes even discarded by their owners when they outgrow them). He even deemed love as a complete illusion, and while he played up his affable image as the ruler of Sunnyside, he developed near fatalists tendencies as he stated that all toys were ultimately made to be thrown away and there was no salvation for them.

Lotso also showed no mercy to toys that resisted, opposed, helped other toys escape, and didn't follow his views, with examples being breaking Chuckles the Clown and Chatter Telephone, having Stretch push the toys into the dumpster, disowning Ken for not agreeing with his view that there were a hundred million Barbie dolls, and punching Big Baby with his mallet for being attached to their former owner again. Additionally, by destroying Big Baby's old pendant, Lotso showed that he not only wanted to forget his own relationship with Daisy and pretend it never even existed, but he also wanted to destroy all of Big Baby's ties to Daisy and essentially all toys' ties to their owners.

However, despite his claims and great extremes to secure his power, Lotso is ultimately a coward and hypocrite. When welcoming Andy's toys to Sunnyside, he is shown to be contradicting in his statements concerning donations, claiming to Andy's toys that getting donated is the best thing that ever happened to them, and then saying that them getting donated by Andy was his loss and therefore, he can't hurt them anymore, even though he is intentionally hurting them by placing them in the Caterpillar Room. Eventually, when the toys try to escape Sunnyside, Big Baby, having enough with his abuse, throws him in the trash heap and Lotso begs him not to lock him inside and at the landfill. Despite seemingly showing thankful feelings toward Woody for saving him from the shredders, Lotso was still angry at Woody for mentioning Daisy and kept his belief that toys will be abandoned by their owners and thrown out, as evidenced by his refusal to press the stop button of emergency which, if he had pushed it, would have led to his redemption by sparing Woody and his friends from their ardent death in the incinerator. This plan failed, however, and if Lotso saw them alive after being tied up to the front of a garbage truck, he possibly felt enraged at failing to destroy Andy's toys but knew he couldn’t do anything about it due to his comeuppance. In addition it would also seem he learned the hard way "Another man's trash, is another man's treasure".

Overall, Lotso has proven to be both irredeemably and unsympathetically evil. Despite his tragic backstory and any admiration he may have had towards Daisy, Lotso shredded it all up by taking his hatred and rage on other toys that had no involvement with him getting replaced. Furthermore, he refuses to accept the fact that he was the only one who was replaced as he insisted to let his former friends suffer with him, Lotso is more than willing to let other toys unfairly suffer or get broken simply out of his hatred of Daisy.

Moreover, he happily caused great harm to Woody and his friends. Like when Buzz at one point "respectfully request" a possible transfer to the Butterfly Room for him & his friends, Lotso had him reset by his minions when the latter kindly refused his offer after hearing his pals couldn't come. Despite Woody even risking his life to save his own fur, Lotso would not hesitate to betray his own minions or throw away any shed of redemption all for the sake of power and sadism, and by extension, it turns his horrendous treatment of the other toys into his way of angrily lashing out at everyone else with the mindset that if he can't be happy no one can. All this makes Lotso the worst, and by far, the most hated enemy of Woody and his friends.
