Grizzly bear

Grizzly bears are huge solitary omnivores found in temperate forests, temperate swamps, boreal forests, cold bogs, and tundra.

Although infamously bad-tempered, as wide-ranging creatures that will eat anything, grizzlies rarely are hungry enough to attack your colonists or their livestock without provocation. If they do, they present a problem even to industrial era-equipped colonies thanks to their wall of health and savage amounts of damage. If successfully hunted though, they provide large amounts of meat and valuable bearskin.

They are almost identical to the polar bear - only differing in appearance, habitat, and comfortable temperature range.

Analysis

If they can be successfully obtained despite their 30% manhunter chance on failed taming attempts, bears make good haulers and melee blockers.

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.
