Bersk

Bersk are a race of beastfolk. They are bipedal and generally resemble humans in body shape, though they are usually quite a bit larger, with the average height of a bersk being about 6½-7 feet. Thought to originate in the icy northern lands of Uttinon, bersk are also covered in thick fur, usually of some hue of brown, and have a head resembling that of a bear. They also tend to have a thick and powerful build like their bear ancestors.
