Bear

Bear is a creature type most associated with green. It is used for cards depicting large carnivorous mammals with stocky legs, long snouts, small rounded ears, shaggy hair, clawed paws, and short tails.
==History==
The first card to bear the subtype it was (a 2/2 for ). That card has become the prototype creature for bears, 2/2 creatures for 2 converted mana cost.
<c>Balduvian Bears</c>, <c>Bear Cub</c>, <c>Forest Bear</c> and <c>Runeclaw Bear</c> are all functional reprints of Grizzly Bears. There are many cards with the subtype Bear, most of which depict lifelike creatures. Exceptions to the rule are the <c>Phantasmal Bear</c> which is also an Illusion, <c>Spectral Bears</c> and <c>Ursine Fylgja</c> which are Spirits as well as Bears, and the <c>Werebear</c> which is a Lycanthrope (a Human Bear Druid). 
The first legendary bear was created by popular request for Core Set 2019: <c>Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma</c> However, the card was a Ferocious enabler or lord, which disappointed those who wished to play it with as many bears as possible - including the 2/2-sized versions. This lead to the creation of <c>Ayula, Queen Among Bears</c>, and likely influenced <c>Savage Swipe</c>.
