Cave bears were large, ancient ill-tempered bears that had adapted to life underground.[1]

Description[]

Typical cave bears had coarse and dark hair.[1]

Combat[]

Cave bears, much like polar bears, used primarily their claws and powerful bite as weapons.[1]

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.[5]

Ecology[]

Diet[]

Cave bears were typically known to eat subterranean lichen and blind fish.[1]

Habitats[]

Cave bears were known to inhabit the Savage Frontier[5] and the highlands of the Moonshae Isles.[6]

Relationships[]

Cave bears were considered sacred animals to the followers of Clangeddin Silverbeard, Geb, Luthic, and Uthgar.[7]

The priestesses and shamans of Luthic could summon cave bears to their aid and were often protected by several of the beasts.[8]
