Description

An awakened bipedal brown bear with plate barding that seems to be practically stapled & seared  into its skin. This bear has such great skill in the magic of fire, it literally is wreathed in flames. Its barding & fur is drenched in dried blood & the bear has blood-stained bandages basically everywhere. Its maw appears to have two rows of teeth, with the two most prominent canines seemingly tipped with heat. Its claws have been embewed with a low-burning spark of a flame.

This bear wields a greatsword with its apparently opposable thumbs. The barding has some broken chains hanging off of the back & the lower arms, as if it was imprisoned somewhere & had broken out. The greatsword is a claymore* that is serrated on one side. It does have some traditional adventuring gear, like a misshapen backpack, some pouches alongside the armor, & a broken, yet still functioning, watch.

*think Megatron's sword in Transformers 5, though if that isn't a claymore, that's my bad, but think that.
