The black bear is a medium sized bear with a body about six feet long and appears to weigh around 440 pounds.  Mostly blackish in color, asone would expect from a black bear, its muzzle is somewhat lighter and a distinct V-shaped patch of cream colored fur can be found on the chest.  Also of note are the ears which appear much larger than those of other bears.

Other information

Although they do not wear physical armor, their skin provides protection equivalent to double leather ASG 8. Since there is no actual armor worn the CvA value is +25.

In addition to a natural weapon charge attack, they also have a charge maneuver with the potential for unbalance critical damage.

A black bear charges at you, throwing her weight behind her shoulder, the bear knocks you painfully to the ground!
  ... 25 points of damage!
  Chest strike sprawls you flat on your back.
You are stunned for 5 rounds!
