Papa Bear

Papa Bear is a boss character in Dark Deception: Unchecked Limitations. He serves as the final boss of Bearly Buried and the main enemy of Zone 4.

Appearance
Papa Bear resembles a large stuffed bear much like Mama Bear, but is missing an eye and has several scars. He is more muscular and is slightly taller. Papa Bear wears a red camo winter jacket with a winter cap, black pants, gloves and boots. He is usually seen wielding an AK-47.

In his frenzy mode, literally nothing has changed except that now he wields a rocket launcher.

Personality
Papa Bear has the sporty personality of a kind father. He is very overprotective of his family and will do anything to not them get hurt. He is also shown to hold a grudge on Bierce as he lost his right eye during a fight with her. Papa Bear does have a weakness though, and that is his soft and fluffy fur that makes him irresistable to cuddle. But watch out. He ain't no cuddle buddy as he has a lust for blood like his wife does.

He cares about his children and his wife, and therefore hunts in the tundra to catch food he can bring back to the cabin. While Mama Bear has a serious and calm personality, Papa Bear is humorous and jolly, making dad jokes even while going for the kill. Despite his looks, Papa Bear almost never gets angry, being chill about almost everything, even when Doug steals all the soul shards. That said he takes his job with utmost seriousness and attempts to kill Doug on sight.

He attacks using all kinds of missiles and explosives with no regard for safety, and pre-battle dialogue consists of him shouting orders to attack. He laughs and screams manically during the battle.

Powers
Papa Bear is not explosive, and his shapeshifting abilities does not compare to Mama Bears, but Papa Bear is Russian, that by itself demands fear and respect. Papa Bear is an excellent hunter, knowing where his prey is even when he cant see them. He wields his trusty AK-47 and many other weapons. Papa Bear can shapeshift his limbs and his body, but he can't turn into a giant nightmare form like Mama Bear.

Behaviour
Papa Bear will hunt the player down. Papa Bear moves faster than the player's base speed, and wields several special abilities. Papa Bear can summon white versions of the Trigger Teddies called 'Snow Teddies' which he refers to as 'Sons', these function identical to normal Trigger Teddies, but instead of blowing up and killing the player, they create an icy explosion that freezes the player for 3 seconds. Papa Bear is efficient in his hunting strategy, he can hear any sound the player makes such as collecting soul shards or using abilities. Papa Bear also uses a Russian AK-47, which he uses when close enough to the player. The player must take cover or teleport to dodge his fire, which may prove difficult in open spaces. Papa Bear is also capable of tracking down the player even when they vanish, as he can hear their footsteps.

Papa Bear is the real danger, but the Snow Teddies can freeze the player and provide Papa Bear with an easy opportunity to strike, so be on guard at all times.

In his boss battle, Papa Bear will:


 * Tsar Bomba: Hops on top of a giant thermonuclear bomb and bounces across the arena a few times while exploding the ground he lands on.
 * Firestorm Jetpack: Leaps into the air while holding onto two large missiles, one in each hand. He will then move towards the player at the same speed as their movementspeed while simultaneously shooting fire towards the ground, which periodically shuts off. The dodge window for this attack is extremely tight, with less then a second opportunity to Speed Boost after the fire shuts off.
 * Jetpack Dash: Similar to the jetpack attack, but Papa Bear moves along a set course, side to side across the arena, ending in the middle. The delay between the fire-less rockets fluctuates greatly.
 * Jetpack Tornado: Also similar to the jetpack attack, Papa Bear will follow a set path, spinning as the rockets ignite, but periodically they shoot out sets of three fireballs at 45% angles on both sides, which can be tough to dodge when Papa Bear is near the edge of the arena.
 * Dragon Storm: Goes to one end of the arena and summon a massive rocket with a dragon head that travels slowly across the arena, dropping burning cinders onto the ground as it goes. When it reaches approximately the last quarter it will start rising skyward in a parabolic fashion, before Papa Bear drops form the top of the arena at the opposite end of the arena from where he started at.
 * Missile Barrage: Runs to the center of the arena before proceeding to start summoning two missile silos form the ground that shoot out about a dozen missiles into the sky, and the missiles fall to the ground at random spots for a few seconds after a couple seconds. The missile's explosions are indicated by blue circles on the ground, and the player must quickly move out of the circles before the missiles hit. Papa Bear can use this attack for 10 seconds resulting in a 'bullet hell'.
 * Grenade: Throws a grenade that explodes. Will often throw multiple at a time.
 * Fat Man's Nuke: Walks to the center of the arena before summoning a massive intercontinental ballistic missile from the ground. If its allowed to take off, it will nuke the entire arena, instantly killing the player. This attack is rarely allowed to succeed since avoiding the nuke is as easy as destroying the missile with either Primal Fear or Blow Dart.
 * Rocket Launcher: Pulls out a rocket launcher and fires 2-4 heat-seaking rockets at the player. Both the explosion and the rocket kill.
 * Snow Throw: Throws Snow Teddies
 * Expand Blyat: Extends his arms in a similar fashion to Mama Bear, and uses this to slam the player.

Similarly to Destruction Ducky's battle, the player can use the grenades against their users. Using primal fear on Snow Teddies can freeze the grenades and allow the player to safely pick them up and throw at Papa Bear to blow him up. This must be done 10 times and progress is not reset upon death. Upon doing this Papa Bear's boat will explode and Papa Bear will fall into the river. The player can now go back to dry land and make a run for the portal.

Trivia

 * Papa Bear is heavily inspired by Slavic Russians hence his outfit and weaponry.
 * Papa Bear's boss fight is based on Major Warren Pliskhan from Have a Nice Death.
 * Papa Bear uses the term 'SUKA BLYAT' just as often as Malak uses the term 'Mortal'
 * Papa Bear is the first boss in the expansion that serves as the final boss of the level despite the previous final boss still being fought.
 * Papa Bear's theme is just a Hardbass remix of Mama Bear's boss theme.
 * Papa Bear doesn't seem to worried about the death of Trigger Teddies, as he states they can regenerate themselves through Mama Bear.
 * Papa Bear is waiting for the day the Trigger Teddies learn how to speak properly so he can pull a 'Hi Hungry I'm Dad' joke.
 * Most of Papa Bear's voicelines is provided by Gary Schwartz, the voice actor of both the Demoman and Heavy from Team Fortress 2 (especially the latter). Allegedly, most of his dialogue are all primarily done on the 15.ai and Uberduck, since the developer couldn't hire Gary Schwartz due to budgetary reasons.

Lore
Neighbouring the wilderness of Mama Bear is the tundra. The tundra is the hunting ground of Papa Bear, husband of Mama Bear. While he possesses the same shapeshifting power as Mama Bear, Papa Bear is a true slavic and prefers to fight using soviet technology. He is an effective servant in the military component of Malak's army. When he's not fighting he's either hunting food to share with Mama Bear and the Trigger Teddies, or getting drunk on vodka with his mates. One time, in a fight against the army of another demon, he lost his left eye and injured his arm, although he recovered surprisingly quick. He's just a murderously jolly slav with a habit of overusing bombs and guns when he fights in combat, even though his physical hand to hand game is superior to his wife's.

On the surface, Papa Bear was nothing short of a calamity. At Malak's hierarchy, he's a large-scale catastrophe. Before he became the imposing and enigmatic figure known as Papa Bear, he was once a man named General Ivan Volkov, a former Russian military commander whose life was marked by a relentless thirst for destruction, chaos, and a reputation as a mastermind of mayhem. In the mortal realm, Ivan Volkov was a brilliant yet deeply troubled individual. From a young age, he displayed a remarkable intellect and strategic prowess that set him apart from his peers. His rise through the ranks of the Russian military was meteoric, fueled by a combination of cunning tactics, unflinching determination, and an uncanny ability to exploit the vulnerabilities of his adversaries.

As a general, Ivan Volkov commanded an unparalleled level of authority and power. His strategic brilliance was matched only by his insatiable appetite for destruction. He reveled in chaos, orchestrating elaborate and devastating military campaigns that left a trail of devastation in their wake. His disregard for collateral damage and civilian casualties earned him a reputation as a ruthless and fearsome commander. Volkov's obsession with mayhem extended beyond the battlefield. He was known for engineering elaborate traps and diabolical schemes that plunged entire regions into chaos. His twisted mind reveled in the suffering and panic his actions incited, viewing chaos as a canvas upon which he could paint his malevolent masterpiece. However, Volkov's lust for destruction eventually caught up with him. A mission gone awry, an ambitious plot that spiraled out of control, led to catastrophic consequences. The aftermath of his actions left innocent lives shattered and his own reputation tarnished. Fueled by a cocktail of arrogance, guilt, and a thirst for power, Volkov sought to rectify his mistakes through even more destructive means.

It was during a final, desperate attempt to regain his lost standing that Volkov's life met a tragic and fitting end. In a remote and desolate region, his plan to unleash unprecedented chaos backfired catastrophically. The very forces he sought to control turned against him, and his obsession with mayhem culminated in his own downfall. In the nightmarish realms of Dark Deception, the malevolent entity known as Papa Bear emerged from the remnants of General Ivan Volkov's twisted psyche. His teddy bear visage now conceals the malevolence that consumed him in life, a haunting reminder of the destruction he wrought and the chaos he embraced. When he first encountered Malak, Papa Bear immediately joined up and made himself an invaluable overseer. As a reward for his service, he was gifted a territory of his very own to rule with a (literal) iron fist.
