Cave bear

Cave bears were large, ancient ill-tempered bears that had adapted to life underground.

Description
Typical cave bears had coarse and dark hair.

Combat
Cave bears, much like polar bears, used primarily their claws and powerful bite as weapons.

History
Sometime after the War of the Silver Marches of 1485 DR, a family of cave bears resided in one of the caverns of Deadstone Cleft.

Diet
Cave bears were typically known to eat subterranean lichen and blind fish.

Habitats
Cave bears were known to inhabit the Savage Frontier and the highlands of the Moonshae Isles.

Relationships
Cave bears were considered sacred animals to the followers of Clangeddin Silverbeard, Geb, Luthic, and Uthgar.

The priestesses and shamans of Luthic could summon cave bears to their aid and were often protected by several of the beasts.
