<br />
Fictional animal.<br />
<br />
<br />
== In the Sherlock Holmes stories ==<br />
<br />
* Teddy was [[Henry Wood]]'s mongoose ([[CROO]] {{refcanon|CROO|363}}).<br />
<br />
* He was a beautiful reddish-brown creature, thin, and lithe, with the legs of a stoat, a long thin nose, and a pair of the finest red eyes, kept in a box by Wood ([[CROO]] {{refcanon|CROO|367}}).<br />
<br />
* [[Henry Wood]] used him in conjuring acts for soldiers in canteens — one trick involved Teddy catching a defanged cobra ([[CROO]] {{refcanon|CROO|369}}).<br />
<br />
* On the night of [[Colonel James Barclay]]'s death, Teddy escaped from his box, ran up the curtain toward a canary cage, and was recaptured by [[Henry Wood]] before he fled the scene ([[CROO]] {{refcanon|CROO|363}}).<br />
<br />
* Early in the investigation, [[Sherlock Holmes]] noticed strange animal tracks and deduced the creature's size, shape, and climbing ability — before learning it was a mongoose ([[CROO]] {{refcanon|CROO|179}}).<br />
