# Bong Bear 82

## Visual Elements

Panda wearing a tall ‘magician hat’ with a flat base and tall cylindrical shape and a marijuana leaf symbol in a darker shade in the middle of the hat. The panda is also wearing black trousers with a pattern of marijuana leaves in dark green, almost black. Its ear is pierced with two rings, and it is holding a circular-shaped item in creamy white / light beige. A plushie based on [this Bong Bear](https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/66075445032688988859229341194671037535804503065310441849644897951200825049089).

## Cultural Context

Bong Bears is one of the earliest and most recognized NFT collections in the Berachain ecosystem, created as bear-themed characters on Ethereum's OpenSea platform before Berachain launched its own chain. The collection features a roster of stylized, cannabis-culture-inspired bears each with unique outfits, accessories, and color schemes. Bong Bears helped establish the bear identity that became central to Berachain's community branding, making them a foundational piece of the ecosystem's cultural history.

## Justification

As one of the OG Berachain ecosystem collections, Bong Bears appearing as held-item plushies in Mibera is a direct nod to the shared bear lineage that ties these communities together.
