Baby Tugs Bear (often abbreviated "Tugs"), is a Care Bear cub and the twin brother of Baby Hugs Bear. He made his first animated appearance in the 1984 television special, The Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine, and has since popped up in nearly every future incarnation of the series.
Profile
Appearance
Baby Tugs Bear has baby blue colored fur and his Belly badge formerly was a yellow Starbuddy resting inside a blue cloth diaper. His Belly Badge was changed in the 2007-2008 series Adventures in Care-a-Lot to a red heart inside a yellow star.
Personality
In Tugs' own mind, Tugs is a full-fledged, full-grown Care Bear, and can be really brave, though he is hardly ever without his twin sister. They both get along, but like every brother and sister, they sometimes fight.
Naturally curious and playful, Tugs and Hugs have a habit of getting into trouble, and are usually looked after by Grams Bear, Grumpy and Champ Bear. In Adventures in Care-a-Lot, the twins are looked after by Cheer Bear.
