List of bears

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Bears are beefy animals that can occasionally be found throughout the Dungeon and Lair. While they're less common than some other types of creatures, they make up for it by having multiple attacks and the ability to go berserk when badly injured.

Bear Types

h Black bear - The common variety of bears. They can manage to rip apart fragile spellcasters, but most other characters will have an easy time with them.

h Polar bear - Amphibious bears hailing from arctic climes, their thick white fur gives them cold resistance. Often found in Ice Caves.
