Bears have both high health and high damage. Most bears are dangerous to players as well as to other animals.
Spawning
Brown and black bears spawn in Temperate regions, and may be present in Warm or Cool regions, though brown bear spawns at slightly higher latitudes than black bear. Panda and sun bears spawn in Warm/Hot regions. Polar bears spawn in Cool/Cold/Icy regions.
Bears spawn on the surface , in grass, snow, or air. Most prefer forested areas with some precipitation, but trees are not necessary, and removing vegetation doesn't affect their ability to spawn.
