Bears

Bears are big animals with brown fur, who don't like intruders into their areas. Easily over two meters tell, their paws can cause serious injury to even the strongest. It is best to only engage a angry Bear with good weapons and armor. Their cousins, the Polar Bears, have white fur and are even stronger, but otherwise much the same as normal Bears.

In Savage Empire, Bears are considered an idol of strength, and following one in a dream (leveling up) will provide a strength bonus. Any adventurer not yet experienced in combat should avoid any kind of Bears in their travels.

Normal Bears first appeared in Ultima I.

Normal Bears can be found in the forests. Bears in Savage Empire are typically encountered in caves. Polar Bears can be found in the cold ice lands of the northern Serpent Isle.

Lore


''This ursine creature stands well over a man when fully upright. Able to easily rend flesh with their teeth and claws, bears are quite fearsome opponents, especially when their lairs are threatened.''
