Bears don't get to be as old as this one by being weak or stupid.

RE: Help! Desperados!

This bear has taken to living in a coal mine, in order to escape the late-night talk show hosts of which it is deathly afraid.

It is definitely not afraid of telegraph office owners.

RE: Madness at the Mine

This bear has a crazed look in its eyes, and is practically frothing at the mouth. ...Wait, is it a bear? Is this a real bear? Or are you just hallucinating? You're suddenly unsure. It smells like a bear...

RE: Wagon Train Escort Wanted

This bear has evidently never met a human before, and seems to think it has pretty good odds against a horse with some kind of weird other animal growing out of its back.

Notes

  • Tough-as-nails grizzled bears have an additional +200% initiative and a soft damage cap approximately equal to 100+floor((x-100)0.5), which makes damage sources exceeding 100 significantly less effective.
  • This monster cannot be wished for.
