Homebrew Enlightened Bear Species Details

It's a bear but it's smart now thanks to an awakening spell. Most bears live in their own small communities of others who are enlightened, making the most of their newfound intelligence. Enlightenment isn't always a good thing- sometimes it is a burden to a simple bear. Either way, these creatures are strong, with boisterous personalities, and are powerful when in battle. Their sharp claws and teeth are used for their unarmed attacks and their wild roots stay with them their entire lives.
