Sloth Bear (animal)
Sloth bears are a type of bear found throughout Kashirya and the Pirate Coast that feeds on fruits, ants and other insects. While they may seem sluggish and clumsy from a distance, sloth bears can outrun a human, and their massive curved claws and above average aggression for a bear make them dangerous beasts for anyone to run into in the wild. Despite their behavior in the wild, sloth bears can be found in traveling troupes across Kashirya and parts of the Shattered Coast.
We've camped out all night above the den of a sloth bear who has been foraging throughout the evening hours. The bears nocturnal habits were easy to track, their deep paw prints giving us ample time to locate its lair. But that does not mean this will be easy.
Just down the path we followed, the sloth bear shambles to its cave, still licking the matted fur around its mouth. If we are going to take this beast down, we must hasten, or we will lose our chance entirely.
