Mama Bear is a supporting antagonist in the episodic horror survival game Dark Deception, serving as the main antagonist in the Chapter 4 level Bearly Buried. She shares the level with her children, the Trigger Teddies. Mama Bear acts as Malak’s executioner, killing anyone that Malak brings to her realm.
She was voiced by Tara Strong.
Appearance[]
Mama Bear is a tall, stuffed, barley-white bear, possibly resembling a spirit bear, and has a somewhat suit-like appearance despite being inspired by a plush. Her body appears to be sewn together, with a large tear in her abdomen revealing dark pink, intestine-like cotton. Mama Bear also has spherical eyes with small pupils, a wide, blank, smile on her face, and what appears to be blood around her mouth, resembling lipstick. Mama Bear also has stitches of four threads going down her forehead to her back, and her torso, similar to the Trigger Teddies. She wears gloves on her hands, a pink tutu, and a small, pink bow on top of her head. Her gloves have three claws at the ends of her fingers, but not on the thumbs.
Her nightmare mode in Zone 3 has pale pink fur, red eyes, a black tutu and bow, and dark stitches, along with the inside of her ears. Like the Clown Gremlins, she changes back to her normal mode.
Mama Bear also has a far larger and more terrifying form known as Mega Mama. When entering a mysterious pool of green liquid, she will undergo a drastic transformation. Her body will become far larger and will be very bloated, and no longer wears her pink tutu. Her intestine-like cotton has now been replaced with a massive cluster of Trigger Teddies that have been clumped together. Her arms have multiple segments like a centipede and are covered in various stitches. Her right hand resembles a paw with four clawed fingers. Her left hand has been replaced with a round, fleshy head with bear ears and a mouth filled with sharp teeth.
Personality[]
Despite being an amalgamation of the many souls belonging to abusive mothers, she always talks in a calm, motherly tone and shows to be quite endearing to her babies, Malak, and even Doug in her own twisted and creepy way. She sees Doug as a new companion for her babies, the Trigger Teddies. She has a calm demeanor throughout the video, but she then declares that Doug will die at her home. She may also refer to herself in the third-person, evidenced from her line in the voice reveal "Mama Bear is coming to get you!". She also calmly chases after Doug and gets more bloodthirsty as she gets closer to him. She also has a deep connection to Malak, and seems very affection towards him. Despite this, Malak doesn't seem to keen to reciprocate. She also enjoys eating mortal souls, since she orders her children to drop Doug in the kitchen, expressing the desire of murdering Doug and consuming parts of his body, and wears blood around her mouth like lipstick.
It could be possible that her affable and sophisticated behavior was because each soul of abusive mothers that comprises Mama Bear's current personality is very likely different in personality and viewpoint.
Biography[]
Chapter 4[]
Bearly Buried[]
Intro[]
In Bearly Buried, Mama Bear first appears exiting her cabin to greet Malak, contemplating on both Malak and having a new companion for her babies to "play" with. After a short discussion about Doug, she orders three Trigger Teddies to bring him to the kitchen, all the while revealing that all the stolen ring pieces are hidden here safely.
Act I[]
After Doug reaches the attic and collects the first ring piece, Mama Bear comes back to the living room on time to find that he escaped, much to Malak's chagrin. Once Malak tells her Doug's location, she reassures the former that she'll deal with the situation before sending her Trigger Teddies after Doug. Doug evades them nonetheless, but not before he's attacked by Mama Bear's head in the bedroom, although he closes the door before she reaches him.
Interlude[]
After Doug traverses the tunnels for a while, Mama Bear finds him and breaks through a huge wall behind him, asking Doug to stay for dinner before chasing him down. However, Doug evades both her and the teddies and collects a second ring piece just as the ceiling collapses behind him.
Once Doug makes it to the entrance of Zone 2, Mama Bear declares the teddies find him and protect the unclaimed ring pieces.
Act II[]
Mama Bear can spawn Trigger Teddies out of the opening in her stomach. Her eyes can glow in dark areas, allowing Doug to have a much easier time detecting her whereabouts. Mama Bear usually roams around the map quite slowly, but this is only the case if Doug is far from her. As Mama Bear gets closer to Doug, his vision begins to distort. When she spots him, she will take out her claws and start chasing him down at a faster speed, surpassing the Trigger Teddies. Since Doug doesn't have the Speed Boost power until the second zone, it would be extremely hard for him to escape her.
Mama Bear behaves like a combination of Agatha/Lucky the Rabbit (both are alone and will accelerate their own movement speed upon getting closer to Doug) and the Clown Cars (both possess a support role by spawning additional enemies into the stage). However, unlike the Clown Cars, there's no limit on how many Trigger Teddies are spawned by Mama Bear, meaning that she will periodically spawn several of them throughout the level to increase their already high numbers and difficulty. It is recommended to destroy the remaining Trigger Teddies with Primal Fear to decrease their numbers and stun Mama Bear with their explosions, therefore slowing down the progress of her spawning mechanic.
Boss Fight I[]
Once Doug collects both the Zone 2 shards and the third ring piece, he descends down a ladder into a room of toxic waste pools, only to be beset by Mama Bear and trapping him inside.
During the encounter, Mama Bear reveals her ability to shapeshift via the waste pools, as she'll extend her mutated her arm out to crush Doug. She will do this every 4-5 seconds, after which a large rock will fall down, and Mama Bear will poke her head out to find Doug's location before hiding again. Doug must try to grab and use the rock to hit her in the head, all the while evading or killing Trigger Teddies she throws out on occasion. She will retreat after being hit three times.
Act III[]
Mama Bear reappears once more to attack Doug, now in a frenzied state. Her behavior remains the same as before, but with Zone 3's open-viewed tunnels meaning that she won't lose the player as easily.
Boss Fight II[]
Doug descend further down into a large tunnel full of leftover bones, with Mama Bear awaiting him at the end of it. She jumps into the waste pool behind her and reveals her "Mega Mama" form, furthermore also revealing that she has the last ring piece. She berates Doug for trying to ruin everything, telling him that she'll never let him go for this.
Mama Bear starts the fight by trying to crush Doug with her hands three times, after which she jumps out of the pool and pursues him at a slow pace. Doug has to lure the Trigger Teddies into coming near her before blowing them up with primal fear, injuring her and sending her back into the pool. She repeats the pattern two more times, during which she'll do additional attacks like rotating herself with her arms outstretched and trying to run Doug over in her spiked ball form, both of which require speed boost to outrun. After a third hit, Mama Bear - now defeated - pleads Malak to forgive her for her failure before sinking into the pool, relinquishing the last ring piece.
Final Act[]
When Doug reaches another tunnel full of bones, Mama Bear's mutated mouth hand breaks into the tunnel, yelling that she won't let Doug go. He manages to evade her through the increasingly tighter tunnels, with Mama Bear violently biting the tunnel as he does so.
Doug manages to reach the basement just as the dimension starts collapsing, but Mama Bear starts to break through different rooms of the cabin to reach him, forcing Doug to escape quickly outside. She finally resurfaces in her normal form, cornering Doug with her Trigger Teddies just as a mysterious orb unlocks the portal for him to escape.

Trivia[]
- She was originally a panda named Penny, and was meant to be the third member of the Joy Joy Gang before being replaced by Penny the Chicken.
- When exiting her bedroom in the cabin for the first time, a giant, floating version of her head is seen rushing down the hallway with the door slamming shut before she can reach the player. This is likely a reference to Withered Golden Freddy's jumpscare in Five Nights at Freddy's 2.
