I want to play a wasteland nomad half-elf exile sentinel... with a bear. Up until the bear portion of that, it all sounds quite fitting for a Dark Sun game. But I just can't imagine a bear even existing in Athas. Would it be a hairless bear? My DM is pretty nice so I'm fairly certain he'll let me change the animal type of the companion whilst keeping the stats the same but it has to at least be similar to a bear.
So, my question is, what kind of companion suits Athas and is in some way similar to a bear?
