John Bear

John Bear is a Lakoche warrior who comes to Sealab to stop it from sinking into the earth by dancing as Sealab was built on an ancient Native American burial ground.. He tells Captain Shanks that he will only dance if they turn the mess hall into a casino with vegas-style gambling as he will not do it if the casino has video slots instead. Throughout “Casinko” he procrastinates, instead having Debbie get him a rum and Coke, shooting arrows “for giggles”, doing a dance to help himself with a card game, and getting upset that Sharko is the greeter for the casino. At the end of the episode, while he and Shanks were in a canoe as the casino fills up with water, John Bear reveals to Shanks that he is not a real indian, but is actually a Native American pretending to be a white man that was pretending to be a racist Indian to teach the captain a lesson on “double reverse racism”. After cracking a joke and laughing with Shanks he then pulls his real skin off and screams in pain.

He only appears in the first episode of Season Five “Casinko”.

He has a pet eagle on his shoulder and wears a fringed loincloth that has his visage on it.
