Bear (Skyrim)

Bears are creatures found in the province of Skyrim. They are found in many areas, and in different types. Bears are strong and fast, able to chase down the average adventurer. There are two sub-types of bears, Cave Bears and Snow Bears. Cave Bears can be found in the less snowy regions of Skyrim and in/around caves. Snow Bears are generally found in higher elevation areas where the weather is significantly more harsh. Snow Bears are also more powerful than Cave Bears, which seems to be a trend when comparing creatures to their alpine counterparts.

Bears can also be found sleeping, usually in the middle of a road or path. This can be an opportunity for either sneaking to avoid to encounter, or a sneak attack and the upper hand.

Despite being very dangerous, most bears are docile until provoked by attacking or going near them.

All bears give a Common Soul. Bears can also carry the disease Rockjoint or Bone Break Fever.
