Like other phenotypes in this tome, a werebear is still plagued by the Beast Within’s demand for mortal flesh. However, those who bear the bear’s mark appear to have a natural grasp over this hunger that far exceeds other phenotypes. So much, in fact, they are able to focus entirely on hunting other beasts for sustenance, as opposed to villages filled with innocents. Particularly, it appears that the Beast Within manifests slightly differently in these creatures, leading their hosts to believe they are in some way blessed by the disease, instead of cursed by it. Werebears see them- selves as nature’s guardians given form, and take on the role of shepherds, wardens, and guides for those who find themselves lost in the vast wilderness which populates their regions. - VR
