One family of Wild Animals: 6 animals, levels 6 to 17. Reading the tables says what each column means.

Big, strong and short-tempered when surprised. Make noise on the trail.

Giant Pandamedium · regularThe giant panda is a black-and-white bear that eats bamboo all day in the forests of Menusia and Amari. It is peaceful and looks soft, and it still has a bear’s jaws. Merchants in Crecia pay well for a tamed one, though nobody has worked out what it’s for.	6	22	5	1d6	1	DC 5	70
Bearlarge · regularBears range through the forests of Tharsis and New Saellem and up onto the high tundra of Jewall, eating berries most of the year and whatever a careless camp leaves out. Most will leave if you make yourself loud and large. A sow with cubs will not, and nothing in Darkwood hits harder.	14	33	8	1d8	1	DC 10	80
Black Bearlarge · regularThe black bear roams the forests of Tharsis and Esthar and the taiga of New Saellem, eating berries, grubs and anything left unguarded in camp. Most will run from a shout. The ones that have learned what a pack smells like will not.	14	33	8	1d8	1	DC 10	80
Brown Bearlarge · regularBigger and shorter-tempered than its black cousin, the brown bear holds the deep woods from Darkwood to the pine forests of New Saellem. Walking between a sow and her cubs is the classic way to end a hunting trip early. Its hide sells well in Tharsis.	14	33	8	1d8	1	DC 10	80
Grizzly Bearlarge · regularA huge, hump-shouldered brown bear of the forests and alpine meadows of Jewall, New Saellem and Tharsis. It eats nearly anything and will not back down from a fight over food. If it stands up, back away slowly.	14	33	8	1d8	1	DC 10	80
Polar Bearlarge · regularWhite, silent and close to seventy stones, the polar bear hunts the arctic tundra of New Saellem, mostly seals along the ice of the Frozen Wastes. It treats a person as one more thing to eat. The pelt is worth a small fortune in Karthage, if you live to skin it.	17	40	8	1d8	1	DC 10	80
