Teddy

A teddy is the common name for a stuffed toy, usually resembling a bear, that babies and children use to help them sleep at night.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, Empath's teddy as a young Smurfling was a pink rabbit named Smoogle, which would turn out to be the name of Nanny Smurf's marsupial pet. Although Empath found having the toy to be rather embarrassing, he also found it useful in helping him to control his telekinetic abilities as he controlled it like a puppet.
