As a fun gift, I got a reboot of my old Skunk, now a gooey "gummy bear" blob inspired by Smoke's adopts ! I enjoyed seeing them so much that I ask smokes to do a ref update for him^^

With Berry being a former athletic campion, now working as a bouncer at a local nightclub. While also working as a parttime "Superhero", but mostly labeling it as an excuse to eat/abosrb people into his blobby mass. Luckily having his only friend (and future boyfriend), named Ted "teddy" (the mutt in the top right of Berry's ref sheet) making sure he won't go overboard with Berry's new powers. So, let's take a look, shall we ?


Barry Beauregard
Hero Alias Name: "Goo-bewr"
Species: Blob/Slime Bear Blob
Gender: Male
Height: 8-9.9 ft.
Weight: hundreds upon hundreds of tons of goo !



Bio:

A typical “monster” from the darkest city alleyways that most crooks and criminals feared. More often than not often, hunting after and consuming them down with glee to Berry's “gooey filled” bod if let loose. Smooshing and sorbing them to be a part of his mass, rather it be his constantly sloshing gut, or his “blob butt”. And constantly “sloshing and blorping” with slime every time he walks. Large and in charge with no issues to feeding foes with his “blob bear juice”. Inflating them up to be immobile blobs till the cops show up. Thinking they get there just desserts for his personal enjoyment. Or consume them whole when the chance is right.

Ironically, he used to be a very competitive athletic champion with even a muscular bod for a bear. Mostly being actively encouraged by his family ever since he was a cub to be the best of the best. Leading his desire to excel everything and thinking he will undoubtedly win no matter what. This however, it led to his ego taking the upper hand on many occasions. All will change one day once he was given an “athletic jelly juice” to improve his recovery. Being an abrasive airhead he is, he drank GALLONS upon GALLONS of the substance regardless for the "side effects". Said to be made by envious “nerds” (with connections to mobsters) that Berry used to bully to show his authority. But the ursa major ignored the side effects, labeling it as "techo babble". However, the experimental jelly juice mutated him, turning him into a massive mass of purple goo. And letting his athletic figure to be replace by massive amounts of gooey bear blubber. After becoming a “blob”, his family members disowned and humiliates him as a result. Leading to them writing off his existence. To even ignoring his apologies and saying into his face he's a failure that scorned him skin deep after years of trying to be the best. Now taking matters into his own hands on to the world as a gelatinous beast, the "Goo-bewr”.


At first glance, he may appear as a heart-less uncaring meat hungry monster with a bottomless hunger. Souly needing to consume more souls to feed himself and his ego. But in truth, a victim of vanity of wanting to feel he mattered in his baser nature. However, the only thing holding on his humanity (or his Anthro-ity), was his only friend that didn't see him as someone to be feared but loved and cared for. That being a mutt named Ted “Teddy” Hagen.

After Berry “saved him” from a band of thugs trying to mug the dog. But Berry just wanted to eat them cuz he was hungry. He could have consumed Ted to, if the mugger didn't make him so full.

Yet thanks to Ted, the canid shown the massive goo bear that his gift can help save lives him. In this revelation, Berry realized that he might not be as ugly and distorted then he though. With Ted being grateful he saved his life even if the goopy slimy bewr had no intentions in saving him to begin with. But deep down, the slime bear felt thankful someone cared for him honestly for once in his life. More than just fame and ego. Showing kindness and even emotional connections missing in the bears life.

With Ted actually being a psychotherapist at the RSC in teaching Berry of controlling his complex feelings of trying to defend himself mentally. Showing the goo bear that it's ok to be angry at oneself, but must vent it out for something better.

Such as Berry enjoying being a crime fighter “monster hero” for kicks. As slowly Berry founded a growing enjoyment of crime busting to vent his frustration. Training and perfecting his new gooey powers as a hero of the streets! Feeling all might and feeling great joy with helping to save lives over time from threats as a bonus by his massive bod. Such as holding crook in his mass (hopefully not digesting them), shape shifting and more! However, Ted stood by him just in-case if he needs someone to chat too, or incase Berry goes overboard with his gooey power and absorbing crooks. Reasons why his has gloves and leather outfit as he's VERY absorbent!

Beware for all you thugs and criminals out there. Cuz some will be crushed, smooshed and gooed by TONs of blob filled bear, BIG BAD BERRY THE GOO-Bewr!

While also working as a bouncer to make ends meet. And Loving to bully and intimidate smaller guys to show his dominance with his massive goo gut looming over them. Even so after as gobbling up non-guest as they float helplessly in his belly as a warning for those who make trouble in the club. But still a sweet gummy teddy bear, IF he wanted to.
