Description

Bears attack by rending opponents with their claws, dragging them in and biting them. A bear's hug attack is resolved as given in the individual entry. All bears are very tough to kill, and are able to move and attack for one round after losing all hit points.

Brown bears are huge, carnivorous, and aggressive. An adult male weighs 400 to 800 pounds and four feet high at the shoulder; females are slightly smaller, but just as bloodthirsty.

On a natural 19-20 with a claw attack, a grizzly bear catches the victim in a hug for 2d8 extra damage. All bears are very tough to kill, and are able to move and attack for one round after losing all hit points.
