Joseph Earwicker

Joseph Earwicker KORB FRS is a colossal Big Boy who is most known for his role as the eponymous monster in the 2021 film, Tedzilla. Born in 1795, he has lived an enormous life span of 226 years and counting. Though his age far surpasses those of standard teds, who live to similar time frames as humans, scientists have discovered that for his species, (Theodosius maximus,) Joseph is merely a young adult -- roughly "24 years old in Big Boy Years."

Joseph Earwicker stands at 112 feet tall, and there is yet to be means measure his weight. Surprisingly, he is a vegetarian, and does not share the same omnivorous diet of most tedbears. From the 19th century onwards was studied by humans from various scientific communities, including the esteemed Royal Society -- which he became a Fellow of in 1966. The President of the Tederation made him a Knight/Chevalier of the Order of Razzeh Bear in 2020.

He lived, for most of his life, in a large parcel of land in the rolling hills of Northern Lappyland. This land was for a while considered to be a national park and wildlife reserve for his containment and residence. In 2021, the Tederation Government and the President of Southern Tedbearia gifted to him Perthshire Island, located in the Southern Redbear Archipelago. Their reasoning for doing so was because complaints were piling up from nearby Lappylanders, who often had their crops, property and vehicles destroyed by accident while Joseph Earwicker went on his evening walks around the neighborhood. One neighbor had his Toyota Prius crushed underneath Joseph's massive paws, which left pawprints the length of a city bus. For the filming of Tedzilla, in which Joseph received a massive prosthetic tail and spikes along his spine, the production team had to lay out over 7 miles worth of a thick, protective tarp, so that the roads leading to the filming location would not be damaged by the gigantic ted. Joseph Earwicker currently resides on Perthshire Island, and the Giant Tedtoises who roam many of the archipelago's islands have received his presence positively, as they perceived it as solidarity amongst Ted Megafauna subpsecies.
