Bear

Bears are one of the most dangerous animals in UrW and can easily kill inexperienced players. They are solitary animals, and can sometimes be found hibernating in caves. Bears are quite aggressive, although it depends on the individual. One of the Advanced adventures task requires the player to kill a bear. Bear's being a fun large animal to hunt can however be very dangerous. Even if you can manage to best a bear he may injure you to the point where you bleed to death before you have the time to tend your wounds or get back to camp.

One "easy" way to kill a bear is to go hunting with at least two dogs and unleash them, when the bear charges you. The dogs will fight the bear allowing you to strike him without getting hurt.

Alternatively, bears can be killed or incapitated using a spiked pit trap. These work best when placed on the bears regular paths, indicated by pawprints, and baited with food bears usually seek out, such as raw fish or berries (during summer).

Their skins can be made into fur, and bear fur has the highest warmth value of all furs. Bears give around 300 (As of v3.16, I got 104 for a small bear and 164 for a normal sized bear.) cuts of meat.

As of v315p1: bears remain one dangerous group. Even trapped in a pit, they still can fight back if you stand in their reach, and take 10 arrows from northern bow to die.
