| “ | Question, what kind of bear is best? | ” |
–Dwight Schrute, The Office | ||
Bears are large omnivorous animals that can be found in most of the temperate biomes of Middle-earth, where they are at the top of the food chain.
Spawning
Bears spawn in most of the temperate biomes of Middle-earth, but they especially like the colder forested biomes.
A full list of biomes that support bears is presented below.
Because of their occurrence in many biomes, bears are considered common animals. More information on their occurence and that of other common animals can be found on the common animals page.
Behaviour
Bears are neutral towards the player at first, but if they are provoked by being attacked, they will deal three hearts 6 (
) to any unarmoured players. As a result, wise adventurers do not attack bears under normal circumstances.
If a bear is attacked, he will counter with feral ferocity, but won't get any assistance from bears close-by. If you hurt a baby bear, all bears in the vicinity will turn nasty on you, even if you have just fed them.
Breeding
Bears can be fed with raw fish (
) to let them mate. Baby bears grow to maturity after some time.
