WFRP 2nd Edition 1 Bestiary: Cave Bear

CAVE BEAR
Hulebjorn, Pets of Ursun
Common View
Northern bears are the biggest and deadliest. We run to one accidentally in a cave when traveling in the
Goromadny Mountains. Now that one was fierce and angry. Killed two of my men. It was the size of
those white bears of north, but still different breed. Norse guide told us that these bears are the pets of
their God Ursun.
- Hans the Axe, Mercenary Sergeant

The Scholar’s Eye

There are mighty white bears that live in the icy sea and huge brown bears that you call Grizzly. But the
most fearsome and aggressive is the cave bear. These we do not train. Too frenzy. Best to leave alone.
- Lars Hronjirson, Varg Beastmaster

Cave Bears are basically remains from the cold era when many mighty creatures lived. After the coming of
warmer climate many of these creatures disappeared or became very rare living in the colder regions of the
world. Cave Bear is very much similar in size as Northern Grizzly or Polar Bear, but more fierce.
