Nipples the Bear

From WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia.

No, this article has nothing to do with anatomy.

Nipples the Bear is a character from the webcomic Diesel Sweeties, although he has also made cameo appearances in other webcomics (such as Scary Bear). His fursona (and his public persona) is that of a blue bear.

Nipples is an excessive caricature of the stereotypes of an average fur. He supports himself by drawing art (and winnings from discrimination lawsuits); he never leaves his fursuit; he solely refers to himself as a bear, and may have legally changed his name to 'Nipples.' However, he is also shown as having 'corrupted' several other major characters to the furry fandom (and fursuiting, specifically).

There is much speculation as to who he 'actually' is; many theories have linked him to more regular characters in the comic, or to the author, Rich Stevens III.
