Grizz

The Grizz, or simply Grizz, is a male black bear with black fur and brown eyes. He teamed up with Cyrille Le Paradox, and was the antagonist for Clan of the Cave Raccoon in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. He planned on forging cave paintings in the past, only to dig them up in the present and make him worth a fortune.

Background
As a child, the Grizz loved to ice skate, as it made him feel free, as well as for its "cleanness," where it was just him and the ice. As he grew older, though, he turned to crime to support himself. He became a common street thug and graffiti artist with a penchant for rapping, who was suddenly plucked from the gutter and put into the lime light by a wandering art expert. He had his primitive art hailed as a brilliant new style called "Paleo-graffiti" and, for a time, he enjoyed celebrity status.

His fame was short-lived, however when people soon got over the fad, realizing that his art wasn't as good as they originally thought, and he was thrown right back into the street. He began to hate the art community, and eventually returned to his criminal roots, becoming an art thief on INTERPOL's most wanted list. He was one of Inspector Carmelita Fox's main and largest targets, aside from Sly Cooper, and he had vanished before he could be arrested. The Grizz was hired by Le Paradox to erase the first Cooper from history, Bob Cooper.

While in the prehistoric era, Grizz stole all of the local Pterodactyl eggs to use for paint. He then used the paint for his prehistoric art operation, where he and his crew would paint phony cave paintings and go back to present day, where they would dig them up and sell them for a fortune. Unfortunately, his deal with Le Paradox hadn't gone very well since all the eggs were stolen by Bob, which frustrated Grizz, who needed to keep his counterfeit painting production going despite Le Paradox neglecting him. After the Cooper Gang interfered in his plans, he battled with Murray, using his skills as an ice skater to try and defeat him, but was ultimately bested by the hippo and sent to jail, where he was given a long prison sentence. While doing time, the Grizz continued to rap and paint, making portraits of his fellow inmates.
