Monster Bear

The **Monster Bear** is a large teddy bear that was used by Big Boss and his minions as another one of their plans to take over the reef village. In "The Abominable Seamonster", Big Boss made Jax controlled the Monster Bear as a puppet to pretend that it's a "monster" so he could trick the village into thinking he's a hero who steps in and "defeats" it so he could become the reef's new leader.

## Appearance

The Monster Bear is an old plush toy that's made out of brown cloth. It has a sew-in frown and eyebrows. It had two green glass eyes which all fell off after the village's first encounter with it. Because it's old, several barnacles are attached to it and part of the teddy bear's left arm is ripped. There's a hole at the rear of the teddy bear that the sea creature(s) could use to control it like a puppet.

## Trivia

* Jax, Ricky, Ella, Pipo, Annabel, and Marco are the only characters who're seen controlling the Monster Bear like a puppet.
* Ricky called the Monster Bear a "big old costume".
* In "The Godfather", César owns a smaller version of the Monster Bear.

Reef village

The **reef village** is an underwater coral village that serves as the setting for all the events of *Sammy & Co*. It is located underneath an island somewhere in the Southern Seas, a few nautical miles away from "The Tank" in Dubai.

## Background

After roaming the ocean and escaping from a giant fish tank in *A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise*, Sammy, Ray, and their clan has set up home at the coral reef village a few miles away from Dubai since there're dangers and predators everywhere in the big ocean and they found the village to be a safe place to live. As the village's leader, Sammy is in charge of protecting their new home from Big Boss who's planning to dethrone him, as well as trying to protect his community from many dangerous predators outside the reef.

## Locations

### Residential

* Albert's den
* Margaret's habitat
* Pipo's habitat
* Ray's habitat
* Sammy's habitat

## Trivia

* The reef has been taken over by Big Boss in numerous episodes, though it'll only be briefly.
* In "The New Sammy" after Big Boss kidnapped Sammy, Eddy impersonates him and became the village leader.
* Albert, Alpha, Annabel and Margaret all live near the exit of the reef. Albert and Margaret are also in charge of guarding the village against any predators.
* Because the village is a community, most of the villagers are vegetarians and they stick with eating seaweeds and algae instead of their natural prey. Margaret helps harvest the seaweed from her garden to provide the food supply for the villagers.
	+ The only villagers who're not vegetarians are: the sea turtles (Sammy, Shelly, Ray, Rita, Ricky, and Ella) because they're often seen eating jellyfish; and Alpha because he eats parasites from Albert.
* In "The Tourists", Big Boss tricked the tourist fish into coming to the village as their "vacation" spot.
* Since the series was originally going to be called "Bienvenue à Turtle Island", meaning "Welcome to Turtle Island" in French, it's possible that the village was originally going to be called "Turtle Island".
* Aside from having sea turtles, a shark, a lobster, a squid, crabs, and octopuses as villagers, most of the inhabitants are fish.

Little Turtle Dove

A drawing of the fluffy fox herself!

### Relatives

Burt Hawkins (Father), Katy Hawkins (Mother), Robert Hawkins (Brother), Jerry Hawkins (Brother)

## Physical description

### Gender

Female

Little Turtle Dove is an anthropomorphic red fox. She exists in the Little Turtle Dove universe.

## Appearance

She is a very fluffy orange and white fox, with large eyes and curly eyelashes that are perfect for batting. She is very small, being a bit of a runt. She also dresses very girly, adoring cute dresses, frilly skirts, big bows, and lots of curly ribbons.

## Personality

Little Turtle Dove is very shy, and before her career took off, had stage fright and social anxiety, preferring to only be with her mom, dad, brothers, or close friends. As she grew, however, she came out of her shell, yet remains quiet and soft-spoken. This has also made her naïve, and unfortunately easy to fool. She tends to view the world in a sort of sugar-coated manner, and has trouble speaking her mind. Despite this, she is very sweet and kind-hearted, a gentle soul and a joy to be around. Her passion is singing and music, as she is very gifted for it, having a natural talent from a young age.

## History

Little Turtle Dove was born as Annemarie Hawkins in a small, rural town in the southern United States. The small fox quickly discovered she harbored a passion and natural talent for singing. Her friends and family encouraged her to go public with her abilities, however, her shyness prevailed, until one night she was goaded into finally going up on stage at a joint in town, where she was met with great applause. Her talent wasn't missed by a certain music manager that happened to be in the audience, thus beginning her career and shaping her life for the rest of the days to come.

## Trivia

* Her name is derived from those of performers such as Little Eva, having been inspired by a dream. The character herself, however, was inspired by Tina Turner.
* Her favorite types of music are soul, rock and roll, and country.
