Vale Bear (VEIL)

The Vale bear, also known as Sashuf's bear or the riverbed bear, is a large quadruped mammal related to the far larger valsar. It is speculated that both animals are descended from a single large predecessor. Young under a year of age are known as cubs. 
Vale bears are fairly common, though the release of the Plague of the Bitter Hand tainted much of their preferred riverside habitats and has forced their migration away from their usual areas.
