Brontobear |
By: Dustin M. Ramsey (DustinM@rifts-rpg.com)
These gigantic, deadly bears are a sight that very few adventurers and travelers live to tell about. Though no one knows the origin of these massive creatures, many scholars believe that they were originally normal terrestrial bears that somehow mutated over the centuries of exposure to ley lines and rifts.
Brontobears are extremely territorial solitary hunters that will mark a 200 to 600 square mile area as their territory.
