[QUOTE="The Cardinal, post: 2793825, member: 634"] Cambria is home to some beasts and animals unknown in the old homelands of the settlers. Though almost none can claim to actually have seen one, maybe the most notorious of these creatures is the Cambrian Mutebear, sometimes also called Tundra Beast. These predators look like a cross between a large polar bear and a dire wolf - and are more dangerous than both. Mutebears range in size from the small pony-sized mountain-dwelling variant to the enormous bull-sized monsters of the frozen north beyond the Cambrian Tundra - and they always hunt in packs, with more cunning and tactical intelligence than wolves. But even a single mutebear is a fearsome opponent with its powerful jaws, enormous paws, and the thick grey or white pelt, which can stop even sword blows from penetrating to the beast's skin - not to mention the fact, that mutebears will outrun any human, elf or horse over short distances, and can run for up to a full day without rest at the pace of a jogging human! The name "Mutebear" has its roots in the uncanny silence with which these animals move and hunt: They never utter a single sound - no howl, no growl or roar - and the thick fur under their paws allows them to move more quietly than most cats, so that lonely travelers may suddenly find themselves surrounded by a whole pack of mutebears, staring at them with silent hungry blue eyes. However, there are also some good news on these monsters: they are exceedingly rare outside of the deep wilderness of the Duskfangs or the northern tundra - and rumors about mutebear packs with over a hundred members roaming the endless prarie beyond the Duskfangs are probably really just rumors...
