The Bearlagos is the home within the eyes of our bear characters. 

It’s where Eski, Oinky and co learn about (and challenge) life just like humans, but there’s a lot more to be discovered about this place as the bears head off on an adventure they will never forget. 

Within the Bearlago Islands, there are many different places that the bears go, with a mix of places needed for everyday living, ones which put them into challenging real-life situations, and some special places and islands, each with its own character, theme, and style, that can fuel the bear’s imagination by bringing interactive learning to life. 

On their adventures, the bears have to visit many places to learn skills and pick up clues around The Bearlagos to know where and how to find their missing friend, Meeso. 

BEARLAGOS BACKSTORY

Bearington is the heart of The Bearlagos with its bear paw shape and is the main inhabited area with Bearington Town, which is also home to our Bearventurers (at the Bearcademy), but there’s many other islands around The Bearlagos. In the past, Freezso, Bair (Mave Reef), and Bubbalo were the main inhabited islands, but not anymore, and for different reasons as you’ll find out. 

Former inhabitants of Bair and Bubbalo moved all over the place, mainly to Bearington, but also to Forestine Caves and Magnetic Island (which was little known or inhabited before Bubbalo refugees found it – it was just a baron land to send Beariminals). A few unfortunate ones ended up on Darkwood as they were drawn in by Dr Grizz. Quite a few old Bair residents moved to a part of Jungleton (now called Jungle Bair), as it felt the most similar, natural bear habitat (perfect for those old bears where Bearington felt too modern). 

Only polar bears live on Freezso (& The Icesos) as it is generally too cold for most bears despite its vast land. Eyeland doesn’t have habitants as it’s a security island, only open to bears for the ‘eye of truth’, which helps pay for the security of the Bearlago’s. Slowth is mainly a holiday island to go-slow and relax with a few permanent residents who like the slow lifestyle, whilst Bearillo is more of an adventure park for fun. Dreamback isn’t like any other island. It has no fixed shape as it changes as the tide keeps coming in and out, and as clouds appear shifting the landscape. Fort may not be an island itself, but it’s a security ship that keeps Bearington residents safe from the exiled Darkwood, and finally Unknownland still has a lot of mystery and can only be found at certain times of the year when the tide is just right. 

In each area citizens are called by different names: 

Bearingtons (citizens of Bearington are called this), Bubbalos (former citizens of Bubbalo), Dreamies (the workers of Dreamback), Slowths (citizens of Slowth), Freezers (citizens of Freezso), Bairs (citizens of Bair). 

BEARLAGO UNIQUE FEATURES

Mallows & Beartritions

The Bearlagos are very fruitful in minerals and food that can be found in different areas on the land, caves, and sea, with each bear having different favourites, such as Doomy loving dark chocolate caves, Eski loving Mount Kkool Huneyfall, and Oinky loving Popcorn beach.

You can also find Mallows dotted around, which are like marshmallow plants and trees that spring up, some of which store dreams, others which don’t. 

Emochines 

Around Bearington, Freezso and other islands you will find Emochine’s, the first known invention by Pensa made many years before at the Iceso’s which is a washing machine shower and spa for changing bear emotions. Dirty bears shower in the Emochine to feel refreshed and clean like a normal shower, but the Emochine also changes the bear’s emotions from tired or angry to happy and energetic. It’s like a meditation shower with good fumes that are released, like incense mixed with water and steam. 

Bears go to the Emochine to be washed and free their imagination if it’s getting cloudy, just like you might have ideas come to you when relaxing your mind in a shower. The Emochine was invented by Pensa to combat against ‘danger-breath’, which is when a bear has such bad breath they can cause damage (like freeze another bear or wipe their memory). 

Rumour has it Dr. Grizz was experimenting with some of his bear henchmen with danger-breath to stun normal bears for a short while so they can be kidnapped easily. The Emochine is able to wash out the stench and wake bears up from a ‘danger-breath trance’ as it rids of bad clouds, but the side-effect means you also forget the last few things you did as the machine shakes them up. It’s like a restore point. 

Memory Dumps & Boosters 

The Bearlagos has a few ‘memory dumps’ dotted around, which bears have to be careful about going into, but which are also hard to see (although the smell can be a giveaway). When in a memory dump you forget things you learned before, a bit like the Emochine (which changes your emotions when you are in the washing machine, but that is to adjust moods). These memory dumps might be bad for your memory (and smell), but they also have very fertile soil underneath which can nurture some nourishing organic Bearlago food like popcorns. 

To combat a memory dump bears must either head back to the Bearcademy to learn again or find a ‘memory booster’, which does the opposite, as they help the bears remember something they forgot. Memory boosters look like little jelly beans, but Dr. Grizz tried to send out his henchmen to find them so other bears can’t use them. They are not easy to find though, yet these memory boosters might come in handy in different parts of the bears’ journey. Where do you think you can find them?
