You're right, if this sentence were grammatically correct it would be "Ice Bear is not afraid of tiny germs". However, Ice Bear often speaks shortened sentences that are not grammatically correct. He also tends to speak in the third person, referring directly to himself as "Ice Bear". So for his character, it is normal to use incorrect grammar, however it is good that you are aware that it is incorrect!
