Bear Pelt (Skyrim)

Value: 30

Weight: 8

A Bear Pelt is an nearly unusable item retrieved from the carcasses of dead Black Bears and Brown Bears. They can also be found as random loot on some enemies, including vampires or early bandits (that wear fur). The only real (known) use for them besides selling them is available after downloading the Fighter's Stronghold plug-in, in which you can request Battlehorn Castle's taxidermist (Melisi Daren) to create a stuffed bear, for which you need one Bear Pelt.
