Polar bear
Polar bear
A great white bear adapted for frozen climates. Their thick blubber and fur keep them warm in winter.
While their usual diet consists of fish and scavenged meat, the polar bear can also use 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 cold bogs, tundra, ice sheets, and sea ice. Except for their appearance, habitat, and comfortable temperature range, they are identical to a grizzly bear.
Taming
- Polar bears can be tamed wild, randomly join your colony in an event, or be bought pre-tamed from a trader.
Analysis
Due to the food-scare enviroments they inhabit (like an ice sheet), polar bears are likely to hunt your animals and colonists for their need of food. Keep a good watch on polar bears when first settling on a frozen biome.
If they can be fed and successfully obtained, despite their 30% manhunter chance on failed taming attempts, bears make good haulers and melee blockers.
