They only eat starchy fruit when berries are in season, though at othertimes they have a better balanced diet, and due to the immense amount of energy stored up, they are able to hibernate once berry season ends.<br /> <br /> ==Locations==<br /> *[[Core]]<br /> **[[The Battle Isles]]<br /> ***{{NPC location|Zaishen Menagerie Grounds}} (levels 5, 12, 15, and 20, depending on unlock progress)<br /> *[[Prophecies]]<br /> **[[Ascalon (pre-Searing)]]<br /> ***{{NPC location|Regent Valley (pre-Searing)}}<br /> ***{{NPC location|Wizard's Folly}}<br /> **[[Southern Shiverpeaks]]<br /> ***{{NPC location|Lornar's Pass}}<br /> ***{{NPC location|Mineral Springs}}<br /> ***{{NPC location|Witman's Folly}}<br /> ***{{NPC location|Spearhead Peak}} (at the first fork in the road outside [[Copperhammer Mines]])<br /> ***{{NPC location|Frozen Forest}} (right outside [[Iron Mines of Moladune (outpost)|Iron Mines of Moladune]])<br /> ***{{NPC location|Talus Chute}} (around the center of the map)<br /> <br /> ==Missions==<br /> *Prophecies<br /> **[[Southern Shiverpeaks]]<br /> ***{{NPC location|Ice Caves of Sorrow}} (at the start of the mission)<br /> ***{{NPC location|Iron Mines of Moladune}} (near the starting area where [[Tundra Giant]]s patrol)<br /> ***{{NPC location|Thunderhead Keep}}<br /> <br /> ==Skills==<br /> *{{monster skill icon|Breaking Charm}} (only in [[Ascalon (pre-Searing)]])<br /> *{{monster skill icon|Brutal Mauling}}<br /> <br /> ==Items dropped==<br /> *[[Bear Pelt]] (only in [[Ascalon (pre-Searing)]])<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> *Black Bears deal [[slashing damage]].<br /> *[[Zaishen_Menagerie_Grounds/Service_costs|Unlocking cost]]: 1{{zsilver}} plus 100{{gold}} or 1,000 [[Balthazar Faction]] ''(Common, Tyria)''<br /> *The attack skill [[Brutal Mauling]] that the Black Bear uses is slower than a normal pet attack, causing the Black Bear to have a lower [[damage over time]] than other pets (including the [[Polar Bear]]). However, it can also trigger effects that require an attack skill to be used, like some [[Paragon]] skills provide.<br /> *Beyond pre-Searing, the bears appear at level 5 and can be charmed as easily as any other animal.<br /> *One easily accessible location is in [[Spearhead Peak]], northwest of [[Copperhammer Mines]] and the nearest resurrection shrine.<br /> *There is also one to be found in [[Witman's Folly]], due east of the portal from [[Port Sledge]]. The path will usually be clear of enemies, but beware popups near the bear's location.<br /> *Charming this animal in [[Ascalon (pre-Searing)|pre-Searing Ascalon]] can be difficult. However there are several ways. See [[Guide to taming a bear in Pre-Searing]].<br /> {{anomaly|<br /> *Black Bears exhibit unusual pet behavior while in Pre-Searing Ascalon such as a wide wandering range, automatically aggressive behavior, and slower reaction when it comes to following its tamer (similar to non-tamed black bears in Pre-Searing).<br /> *These behaviors appear to go away after the bear gains a level.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Charmable animal nav}}</div>
