Description

A beebear is a light brown bear with black thick stripes and very long sting-shaped claws. It has small insect- like wings and a large stinger for a tail. The beebear's wings are very loud and can be heard up to 30 feet away, so it uses them mostly as a warning to others, specially when combined with their roars. Bright colors attract these creatures and they will focus their attacks if made aggressive.

A beebear's front claws are poisonous and those hit by them must make a saving throw against poison or take and additional 1d3 damage. If a beebear manages to hug its victim it will use its stinger, causing the victim to make a saving throw against poison or die. A beebear that successfully stings another creature pulls away, leaving its stinger in the creature; the beebear suffers 1d4 points of damage. It takes nearly a month for a new stinger to grew completely useful.
