| - Common, with a range up and down Fastheld's rivers and along the Jadesnake in the Wildlands, the Mud Bear is an 'eat anything' predator that is generally shy, when it comes to man. Tending to seven feet in total length for the largest specimines, the bears are usually honey-brown, with black masking around the eyes and muzzle. While nowhere near the size of their larger cousins, the Mankiller Bear, the Mud Bear is significantly faster, and markedly less aggressive. Mud bear galls are reputed to have medicinal qualities, and they are often hunted for them.

| - Common, with a range up and down Fastheld's rivers and along the Jadesnake in the Wildlands, the Mud Bear is an 'eat anything' predator that is generally shy, when it comes to man. Tending to seven feet in total length for the largest specimines, the bears are usually honey-brown, with black masking around the eyes and muzzle. While nowhere near the size of their larger cousins, the Mankiller Bear, the Mud Bear is significantly faster, and markedly less aggressive. Subsisting on a diet of fish, fowl, tree bark, shrubs, and insects, the Mud bear tends to follow its stomach through its range while largely avoiding concentrations of human habitation. It prefers to flee rather than fight, and is active from spring until a short time after the frost hits in winter. During the coldest months, the Mud bear's activity slows, as its sleep lengthens; while it never truly hibernates, it eats only rarely and remains largely in its den through most of the coldest months. Mud bear galls are reputed to have medicinal qualities, and they are often hunted for them.
