Homebrew Bearon Species Details

Once-upon-a-time, in a far-away kingdom, a young prince angered a powerful enchantress and she placed upon him a powerful curse that turned him into a frightful bear saying that only the love of a maiden, willing to accept him as he was, could transform him back to his real self. Even with his kingdom on offer, no maiden would accept him and no cleric or wizard seemed able to lift the curse. One day, a famous rogue was captured and brought before the prince for judgement of his many crimes, but when he said he knew a way to break the curse the prince promised him amnesty if it would work. When the rogue rudely suggested he have indecent relations with a grizzly bear in rather vulgar language, he was immediately beheaded, but the idea gnawed at the prince's mind. It grew until he went on a lone hunting trip and returned as a handsome man once more, never telling how he broke the curse.

Some months later, a mother grizzly bear gave birth to three cubs with much more humanoid features and intelligence. They bred with other bears which thinned the bloodline but eventually the humanoid bears gathered together and began to breed and grow in numbers only among themselves, solidifying their breed and becoming the new race of the bearon. Most can proudly trace their heritage back to one of the first three Cubs who are revered as ancestors.
