Polar bear

Polar bear

A great white bear that lives in the far north. Their thick blubber and fur keep them warm in winter.
While their usual diet consists of fish and scavenged meat, the polar bear is more than capable of using its massive strength and deadly claws to kill live prey. They are startlingly quick for such lumbering creatures.

Polar bears are huge solitary omnivores found in the coldest biomes. Although virtually identical to the Grizzly bear, polar bears are more dangerous to your colonists simply because of the much more food-scarce environments they inhabitat. In Ice sheet biomes in particular, once a polar bear appears on the map it will not take it long to start targeting colonists and their animals for want of anything else to feed on.

Taming

Polar bears can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or be bought pre-tamed from a trader.

Attacks

Polar bears have two attacks: scratch (paw) and bite (teeth). Both attacks apply a stun for 7 seconds on their first strike when hunting.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Guard:
Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

Trivia

While in real life polar bears are significantly larger than grizzly bears, in Rimworld they are identical save for their habitat and cold resistance.
