Ursaring is based on a bear and may be seen as incorporating traits of the Asian black bear, grizzly bear, sun bear and Ussuri brown bear. Much as Teddiursa has a crescent moon on its head, Ursaring’s ring may either signify the full moon or new moon. It may also incorporate the constellation Ursa Major’s mythology.
Ursaring’s name is a combination of ursa (Latin for bear) and ring (referring to the circle on its stomach).
Ringuma is a combination of ring or rin (an alternate reading for 林 [woods]) and 熊 kuma (bear).

Ursaring is a bipedal, ursine Pokémon. Its broad body is covered in brown fur, except its muzzle, inner ears, and paw pads, which are a light tan. It has narrow eyes, a triangular, black nose, and wide mouth with small, visible fangs in the upper jaw. The fur on Ursaring’s shoulders is longer and more structured, with rectangular extensions that resemble epaulettes. A female Ursaring has longer fur on its shoulders than a male. There is a large, tan, ring-shaped mark on its chest. Ursaring’s forelimbs are long, ending in five claws each, while its hind legs are short and thick, ending in three claws each. Its tail is large and spherical in shape.
Ursaring lives in mountainous forests, sleeping in treetops and gathering food throughout the day. While it is skilled at climbing trees, it gathers food by snapping them and collecting whatever berries or fruits fall down. It will mark trees bearing delicious fruit in its territory with its claws. Ursaring’s sense of smell can distinguish any aroma, and as such it can find food buried deep underground or in streams. As demonstrated in the anime, Ursaring is highly protective of its young, and has been shown to become more aggressive during mating season.
