Bear Hug - When a monster with this attack succeeds with all main attacks in a single Turn – both claw attacks by a bear, for example – the victim is now in a Bear Hug. The Bear Hug attack is against only the Defense score, ignoring any armor (although magical bonuses still apply – use a die of Rank equal to the bonus). The attack also allows monsters with a bite attack to make such an attack each Turn that also ignores armor. Victims cannot make any mêlée or ranged attacks until breaking free (see Grapple, Ə, pg 32), but can cast spells motionlessly (Ə, pg 17).

A bear. That's cave. No, that's not right. They live in caves. Although smaller than their brethren, Cave Bear's jaws are capable of crushing rocks. When making bite attacks, they receive a +2 bonus to Warrior on the attack roll.

Polar Bears live in frigid climes and suffer no movement penalties for snow and ice. A Polar Bear’s Surprise only applies when its fur actually acts as camouflage.

Sun (Honey) Bear

Size: M
Smallest of the bear family, the Sun Bear (or Honey Bear, for their love of honeycombs) grows up to 5’ long and 175 lbs. They feed on honey, fruit, insects, and grubs. Unafraid of people, Sun Bears are known to enter abodes in search of food, considered an event of good omens by those inconvenienced.
"A Sun Bear pushed through the back door, trashed the kitchen, and ate the pie I had made for tomorrow's party. By the time it left, it had broken three bowls. Took half an hour to clean up the mess."
"Lucky you. Definitely a sign that you'll have strong, healthy sons."
"You're going to come into money soon."
"Good harvest on the way."
