Bark the Polar Bear is a character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series of video games. He debuted in the arcade game Sonic the Fighters in 1996 as one of the eight playable combatants.

Designed as a powerful, heavyweight fighter, Bark is characterized by his large size, brute strength, and his signature ice-based attacks. His fighting style emphasizes powerful punches and throws, often incorporating freezing abilities.

Despite his imposing appearance and abilities, Bark has a limited role in the wider Sonic universe. He has rarely appeared in games outside of Sonic the Fighters, although he has made cameos in other Sonic media, such as the comic books.

While not a major or frequently recurring character, Bark the Polar Bear remains a recognizable and occasionally referenced figure within the Sonic fanbase, known primarily for his role in the fighting game and his connection to the early era of Sonic spin-off titles.
