Where are the bears?

I always wondered why there's no bears in this game. You would think the Spine of the World mountains would be full of them. In fact, the Icewind Dale - Survival Guide to the North (https://cdn.icewinddale.com/files/IWDEE-Manual-1-Survival-Guide-to-the-North.pdf) calls them out specifically as a potential threat, despite their absence. Its almost as if they were meant to be included, then cut out. Just a curiosity I thought I'd share.

    Things do look dire.

    I think I need a rum and coca-koala.

    It's all because you let the world's smartest hungry Goblin Marshall live. It's ~all~ YOUR fault!!


    Now, the only remaining bears survive on isolated islands...if that? Most of those were undead iirc

    You can summon them if you want. Maybe teach them tricks

    Last time I asked "where are the bears?" I ended up in a very awkward party.
