      They remind me of Ewoks, they were better in the remake.

        They're like an Ewok crossed with Teddy Ruxpin Shivers.

            Are the Berbils ever given a proper backstory? It's just weird that this society of robotic teddy bears exists without explanation and none of the Thundercats ever think to ask "Say, you know how you're all, like, robots? What's up with that?".

              Maybe its tied in with those Warrior Women ? In the days of Earth past
              Scientist made Cyber animals as pets or servants or for labor ? A pesky
              Asteroid or Comet hit the Earth and killed most of the population ? Maybe
              there was a Invasion from space and they brought a plague ? Whoever was
              left adapted and went their own way. Some Mutations happened to some of the wildlife left . Berbils with no Humans to boss them around formed their
              own Colonys . ?

                That's something I hadn't considered. They could've been created as slave labor, or perhaps nannies or domestic servants at some point in the past.
                There may indeed be an actual answer out there in
                Thundercats
                canon. I certainly don't recall seeing it on TOS, which I've seen nearly every episode of at some point. Nor any of the comics, though I've admittedly read only a few of those. And I bailed early on the reboot from a few years back.
                If not, I would like to see them get some sort of a proper backstory at some point.

                    Interesting. Obviously they're not organic, so someone had to make them. I wonder for what purpose? And why did they end up on Third Earth?

                      And why they have the appearance of an Earth animal too. Perhaps a space traveller from Earth, similar to Mandora?

                        Could be. Of course both the Thundercats and the Mutants are all evolved from Earth animals (cats, lizards, monkeys etc.). Could be Earth is like Eden where everything began and then spread throughout the universe.

                          The Ancient Spirits of Evil have been around for thousands of years. It would greatly ironic if they had a hand in creating anthropomorphic animals in an attempt to create a loyal army only for them to end up with the likes of the Mutants rebelling and the ThunderCats turning against them.

                            The Robear Berbils also reminded me of Muffet, the robot dog from the original
                            Battlestar Galactica
                            .
