Species

The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin features a large menagerie of sentient species for its character base:

• Illiops: Humanoid bear-like creatures, with kind dispositions. Reside in modern Rillonia after a forced mass exodus from ancient Grundo, where they had an advanced civilization.
• Octopedes: Yellow and caterpillar-like creatures with eight legs & orange spots, each with fully-formed hands. The first pair are employed as hands, while the rest are used for walking. Are often culturally nocturnal, but have no trouble with a diurnal lifestyle.
• Perloons: Humans who usually are professional in nature (e.g. scientist, doctor, wizard).
• Illipers: The near-relatives to humans but broad-faced with flat noses, who live in a medieval-type society with a royal monarchy. In ancient times, they shared a close association with the civilization of the Illiops.
• Grunges: Relatives of the Illipers but jungle-dwellers with antennae in lieu of ears, who tend to be passionate about their hobbies. There are two distinct cultures: the tough and hardy jungle Grunges, and the laid-back, fun-loving, hippie-like surf Grunges.
• Fobs: Small, furry, limbless, multicolored and penguin-like creatures, sometimes kept as sapient pets.
• Elves: Tiny humanoids with pointy ears and shoes. Share a common culture with the Woodsprites.
• Woodsprites: Tiny humanoids with butterfly-like wings. Share a common culture with the Elves.
• Snowzos: A race of large, white and yeti-like creatures who look more dangerous than they are. Prefer very cold temperatures.
• Bounders: A race of red, round, two-legged creatures with a rhinoceros-like horn on top of their heads, usually sarcastic.
• Mudblups: A race of large and lumpy animated blobs of mud, dull-witted and slow-moving but very strong. Sensitive to bright light, since all of their lives are spent underground.
• Trolls: Green & thin creatures with pointed noses. For them, being good means being bad.
• Gutangs: Green and simian-like creatures who wear brown tribal owl-like armor, usually belligerent. Known for attacking in their fixed-wing flying machines.
• Anythings: Small shy creatures able to change into other objects, e.g., carrots, potatoes, other produce. They use their ability to hide. They were previously called Nothings.

Teddy Ruxpin: The Movie (1999)

VHS cover

Not to be confused with the cancelled feature film of the same name. The first six episodes were compiled on VHS with several edits for time and pacing. Although presented as a film, no new content was produced and the title is purely aesthetic. Some releases came packaged with a small plush of Teddy, presumably the Beanie Baby-esque plush sold alongside the YES! Entertainment release of Teddy.
