'''Brown bear''' is a dangerous [[animal]] to new players, but less so than its cousin [[black bear]], and . It can be killed by a well-equipped player without much [[fighting ]] skill. Do not try to run away from it into the water, because this bear can swim. It can be [[taming|tamed]] with meat or fish (15+ taming skill recommended). Since brown bears can swim, one in the water is sometimes referred to as a Bearshark.==Notes==* Brown bears can only be hitched up to the [[Image:Brownbear.jpg|leftage|thumblast Aged stage]].
