Short-Faced Bear

Yesterday, I created a FATE Bestiary page to put all the creatures and aliens I have created in one place for the reader;s convenience. The FATE Bestiary is near the top of the blog; it's the center link right under the FATE SF masthead.

Arctodus, the Short-Faced Bear

Today we are sharing a monster that recently made its appearance in the Alwyn Campaign. The Short-Faced Bear, or Arctodus, was a prehistoric North American bear of the Pleistocene. According to Wikipedia, the Arctodus species are considered to have been larger than any existing species of bear.

Below you will see how I statted the  bear up using FATE Accelerated Edition.

Keep in mind that this version of the creature is quite... special.
