The hulking bearfolk make up an intimidating visage. Brutish and powerful, they combine the features of a bipedal humanoid with the raw strength of a mighty bear. Their heads appear to be entirely ursine, and their muscled bodies are covered in thick fur. Standing anywhere between 7- 9 ft and weighing over 180 kilograms they are truly a force of nature.
Bearfolk are not known for their calm natures. They are boisterous and loud, their minds unable to fathom nuanced emotions. They act extremely when faced with choices and can be hard, if not impossible, to convince once they have made up their minds. Their celebrations are filled with explosive passion, and their wrath is as raging as a forest fire. These extreme reactions often lead to fighting, even amongst themselves. Luckily, bearfolk are a hardy people and consider scars to be an honorary reminder of a battle successfully fought, and it is not unusual to see two bearfolk get into a bloody scuffle, only to share a cask of ale moments later.
Bearfolk are some of the most widespread races in the known world. With different subspecies being found in different continents from the Pandaren of fantasia to the Polnar of the far north bearfolk have adapted to survive in almost any environment in the known world.
