A large and very strong bear covered in glistening white fur, habituated to cold conditions. Like all ursines, the polar bear will become enraged if badly hurt or frightened.
“The Polar Bear is an animal of tremendous strength and fierceness.iBarentz, in his voyage in search of a north-east passage to China, had proofs of the ferocity of these animals, in the island of Nova Zembla, where they attacked his seamen, seizing them in their mouths; carrying them off with the utmost ease, and devouring them in the sight of their comrades. It is said that they will attack and attempt to board armed vessels, at a great distance from shore, and have sometimes been with much difficulty repelled.” |

Tips & Tricks
- While other bears are mostly pushovers, polar bears do enough damage to deserve some respect.
- Due to their cold resistance, polar bears are immune to Ensorcelled Hibernation. Other Hexes or Mephitic Cloud will work just fine, though.
History
Prior to 0.6, polar bears did not berserk.
