Jambavan

Jambavan, the king of the bears, was born when the creator deity Brahma yawned. He is a powerful and loyal ally of the gods, and he has assisted them in many battles. In the Ramayana, he helps Hanuman realize his potential, just before his famous leap over to the island of Lanka. Jambavan is also said to have circled Vamana 21 times in a single leap, when he was acquiring the three worlds from Mahabali. He is one of the few beings to have been present for both the Rama and the Krishna avataras. His daughter Jambavati was married to Krishna.
