D&D General Dwarves Domesticated Bears!

If an army (such as Hannibal's) can field elephants, bears aren't out of the realm of possibility. Besides, it's fantasy. Just be glad they don't have Bulette cavalry - or are riding purple worms ala Dune.
Like I said in my first post, I can accept bear cavalry in a fantasy game because suspension of disbelief is par for the course. But then it's one of those things that's better left unexplained. People have been taming elephants for use as beasts of burden and weapons of war for quite a while but nobody has done the same for bears. Corporal Wojtek of the Polish Army does not count. Feeding a maul of bears is going to be taxing on anyone's resources. Then there's the problem of training them and hoping they don't eat your own soldiers.

The true first bear-riders were the gnomes thanks their "speak with animals". The flaw point is in the winter the bears are hibernating. A mad wizard tried to fix this and to create a new race of bear-like supersoldiers.... but the bugbears didn't want to be slave-soldiers.
 



The classic is by sleigh.
