Great Bear

Few mounts are more formidable than the huge, tough great bear. In northern forests, they are used as transportation for both people and goods, and in a pinch they can be used for cavalry. Unlike other cavalry, though, they can grapple their opponents; some specimens are trained in Wrestling! Great bears are, however, sometimes hard to control, so they've yet to be regularly used in large numbers.
The Riding (Bears) skill includes training on how to stay in the saddle when the bear rears up on its hind legs, and bear saddles are specially designed to allow such a maneuver.
