Hoopy the Bear

Hoopy is a Buffyverse character who was used in Buffyverse comics. Hoopy was a demonically made teddy bear, who had the power to transform into a more dangerous creature, friendly with Dawn. His violent tendencies forced him out of the Summer's house prior to Buffy beginning Sunnydale High School. Years later, he loyally sided to the vampire Velatti. He had become a more evil bear by this time, and it appears Dawn did not remember her childhood friend.
