Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis)

The Grizzly Bear is a special being and the most powerful of all animals when they are present. Grizzlies can stand on two feet resembling humans. They can harvest under the earth with their long claws looking for roots and herbs. They gather and eat that medicine, in turn keeping them strong, powerful and healthy.

Strength, Knowledge, Fearless
