Bear (Skyrim)

Bears are creatures that are found in. Bears are strong and fast and able to chase down the average adventurer. They are weaker than other bears in Skyrim yet still formidable. They can be found in the more mountainous areas of Skyrim, usually around Ivarstead and other hilly regions. It is possible to contract Bone Break Fever from them.

In addition to the standard Bear, there are two subspecies known as the Cave Bear and the Snow Bear, both of which are stronger.



Behavior
Bears can be found sleeping, sometimes in the middle of a road or path. One of the locations is the Honeystrand Cave. This presents the option to sneak around the beast, or to perform a sneak attack to gain the upper hand in the ensuing fight. Bears roar to warn of their presence before attacking, and are docile until you get too close. Bears are often seen attacking other animals such as Elk or Goats.
