Bear Folk Species in Elema | World Anvil

Bear Folk

Bear Folk is Ferocious and wise and the most cuddly of the best folk. They appear terrifying and terrible. However, they are some of the most kind and knowledgeable persons you will meet. They enjoy talking, but if you get into a spiritual or philosophical discussion, you may be there for days, or it feels like it. A lot of them seem to have a knack for understanding and perceiving the world around them. So when you meet a Bear Folk please bear with them a little bit as as you get to know them.

Genetics and Reproduction

A male and a female member of that species are what conceive new Cubs. 14 months after the male fertilizes the female, a Bear Folk Cubs is born.

Growth Rate & Stages

As one of the youngest life span species, Bear Folk are considered infants between the ages of zero and 7 years, during which time they were completely dependent on their parents for food and care. They gradually pick up mobility and world awareness. They usually start with lighter color fur by their seventh year it will change or stay what color it is.

The next stage is kids(Cubs) who learn, play, and grow between the ages of 7 and 27. Although kids are not as dependent on their parents at this point, they are still present to meet the majority of their needs. However, young kids are inquisitive and beginning to understand others and themselves. People have a saying that a young child always hears and retains. My favorite saying from my friends at the bar is “Kids are just little people who become truth drunks”.

Between the ages of 28 and 37, their bodies begin to evolve and develop into adults, which is referred to as the teenage years. Their physical body begins to gain figure, height, weight, and muscles. In most situations, this is also where natural magic develops. In most circumstances, they will also begin to establish their identity and become less reliant on their parents.

From the ages of 38 to 307, they are in their adulthood, their bodies have matured, and they have a good sense of what their natural magic will do. It will continue to develop as they age, but in most cases, it has a set of talents.

From 308 to roughly 400 years of age, they are elders; their bodies have gradually begun to slow down and become weaker, as have their magical talents if they are not kept up with. Their body dose get that much weaker but it is noticeable to them. Other people regard them as wise because they have lived a lengthy life for a Bear Folk. This is the Bear Folk life cycle.

Ecology and Habitats

They build their homes and mountains deep underground or in exceedingly thick houses. They appreciate living in places where they love sleeping in complete darkness  and limit range of smells. They do enjoy all other aspects of the environment while awake. They can live almost anyplace they wish.

Dietary Needs and Habits

They are omnivores they eat what they like. They love to eat it all honey fruit veggies all types of meats. I hear they make even some of the best picnic baskets.

Biological Cycle

For most of the year they only sleep about 6 hours a day but during the winter they need 12 hours of sleep.

Additional Information

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

Bear Folk has various sensory systems, and we will identify the five most important ones. First and foremost, they can see up to 2 miles of amazing detail. Because their eyes can only take in so much information, Following that is hearing from 22.5Hz to 27kHz. With that, Bear Folk can use their scents of smell very well. It can pick up a million different smells, They can use their sense of smell for miles away and tack down what they want. They are thought to best sense of smell of sentient creatures. They possessed the sense of touch to help them identify their bodies and things in the world, both good and harmful. This sense tells them what has wounded them or helps them feel at ease. Finally, Bear Folk is able to taste the five basic categories of sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami.
