Description

The brown bear has a distinctive hump on the shoulders, and long deadly claws on the front paws.

Brown bear is a dangerous animal to new players, but less so than its cousin black bear. It can be killed by a well-equipped player without much fighting skill. Do not try to run away from it into the water, because this bear can swim. It can be tamed with meat or fish (15+ taming skill recommended). Since brown bears can swim, one in the water is sometimes referred to as a Bearshark.

Notes

• Brown bears are the fastest hitched animals yet discovered, yet can only be hitched if young or adolex
• Only young and adolescent brown bears can be hitched. Mature and above results in the message "The (age) Brown Bear is too unruly to be hitched"
• Brown bears can wear a saddle but not a large saddle.
