A quick and tiny bear I have, and Yumbo is his name. A sweet nose and kindly mouth, with nothing in his brain.

Yumbo is the titular main antagonist of the indie Halloween song Yumbo Bear by The Living Tombstone, which itself is a cover of an old Hebrew song by Yachiel Mohar and Daniela Dor.

It is a self-aware teddy bear who seeks to kill it’s owner after they almost drowned.

Biography[]

The protagonist is playing in a pool one day with Yumbo, when he drops him and apparently heard him crying for help. Apparently, Yumbo can’t swim as a result of being an inanimate object, so they almost drowned. The boy dried him off and went to sleep with him, where he turned into a monstrous version of himself and ran away.

The protagonist notices this and goes to search for him in the forest at night. Soon enough, he discovers Yumbo sitting on a tree branch, causing them to drop their flashlight and presumably get killed by Yumbo.

Appearance[]

As a toy, Yumbo is a pink teddy bear with a green bow tie and green eyes, with a perpetual grin on his face.

In his more monstrous state, he gains mismatched yellow eyes, large dirty fangs, and claws.

Trivia[]

  • A common theory about Yumbo is that he is another kid, possibly a sibling of the narrator, who actually drowned and that Yumbo is representative of them. Another interpretation is that they did survive, but hung themselves from the trauma, due to Yumbo at the end of the song looking like he’s hanging by a noose.
