# Bong Bear 98

## Visual Elements

Dark brown bear wearing a tall ‘magician hat’; a hat with flat base and cylindrical shape, in muted orange with a cheetah / leopard pattern, that can be visually described as curved lines and dots, in darker shade of muted orange. The bear is wearing a scarf / loose garment as a top with the same exact color and pattern as its hat, and is also wearing a rusty colored gold chain necklace. It’s holding a dark brown thin rollie. A plushie based on [this Bong Bear](https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x495f947276749ce646f68ac8c248420045cb7b5e/66075445032688988859229341194671037535804503065310441849644897968793011093505).

## 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.
