Bear

Category:Enemies
(Not to be confused with the zoo animal)
Bears are enemies typically seen in grassy locations. There is one by the hot spring in Whisker Woods and there are two in the northwestern part of Jade Fields. They are in out-of-the-way areas, sleep fairly often, and sometimes miss with their attacks, making them relatively easy enemies to avoid.
Bears deal 1 damage. They have decent visual range both in front and behind themselves. However, when chasing the player, they sometimes attack before the player is in range, causing them to miss.
The Bear in Whisker Woods can be avoided by veering to the right and accessing the hot spring without entering its visual range. It can also be stunned with a rock found before the bridge into the area. The grass patch in front of it may have a Green Apple, but the grass allows the player to run in and avoid the Bear's detection, even while they are digging. A Giant Birdwing may fly to the right of the Bear–a player catching it should be mindful to not accidentally jump into the Bear's vicinity.
A player accessing Lonesome Park from Jade Fields can easily avoid attacks from the Bears by following the path or veering to the right. However, the area around both Bears may contain several fruits and insects. A Common Skimmer may fly in front of the first Bear, and an Azalea may be behind it, in the grass by the sea. A Tomato may be found in the grass patch near the second Bear that touches the cliffs, and a Strawberry may be found in the grass patch directly behind the second Bear. A Scarce Swallowtail may also appear behind the lumber pile. A continuous stretch of dense grass near the first Bear allows the player to crouch and crawl into the stretch behind both Bears, making most of these these items and insects easier to grab. Alternatively, the Bears can be stunned with a rock, which can be found on the path leading up to them or behind the lumber pile.
