Description
Bears attack by rending opponents with their claws, dragging them in and biting them. All bears are very tough to kill, and are able to move and attack for one round after losing all hit points.
An Ursine Behemoth is a rare bear of truly gargantuan size. Any particular breed of bear might produce an ursine behemoth, as they are born normal-looking but later grow to massive proportions. When standing upright on its hind legs, the ursine behemoth is 20 feet to 30 feet tall. It has a typical temperament for a bear, but due to its massive form it is continuously hungry.
An ursine behemoth attacks like other bears, but it can only hug opponents larger than a humanoid. When it rolls a 20 on a d20 with a claw attack against such a target, it hugs that target for 4d6 points of hug damage.
