The '''Polar Bear''' is a big, tough bear with more hit points than a black or brown bear, yet it needs only 35.1 Animal Taming to tame. It only fights when attacked.

== Overview ==
* '''In-game name:''' ''a polar bear''
* '''Corpse:''' ''a polar bear corpse''
* '''Behavior:''' it leaves you alone unless you attack it, then fights in melee (animal AI).

* '''Success chance.''' For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt rises by about 2% per skill point and reaches '''100% at 85.0 skill'''. Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
* '''Don't hurt it.''' If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with ''"The animal is too angry to continue taming."''
* '''Stay close.''' You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
* '''Obedience.''' Once tamed, how often it obeys depends on your Animal Taming and Animal Lore (taming counts four times as much as lore). With both at 35.1 it obeys about 70% of the time, and at about 40.0 it reaches the 99% maximum. Below 35.1 the chance drops quickly, to as low as 22%.
* '''Re-taming.''' If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds (''"That wasn't even challenging."'').
* After its first tame, its skills drop to '''90%''' of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.

=== Pack instinct ===
Polar bears hunt better in groups. When several of your pets from the same pack group (the bear group: black, brown, grizzly and polar bears) attack the same creature while standing next to it (within 1 tile), each gets extra melee damage:
* 2 pets: +25%
* 3 pets: +50%
* 4 pets: +75%
* 5 or more: +100%
All the pets must have the same owner. The bonus only applies against other creatures, not against players.

=== Bonding ===
Only the owner can bond with a polar bear, and they need at least '''35.1 Animal Taming''' (base skill). Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after '''7 days''' to finish. When you see ''"Your pet has bonded with you!"'', it's done.

== Loot ==
It carries no loot.

=== Carving ===
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
* '''2 raw ribs'''
* '''16 hides''', doubled to '''32''' in Felucca

== Tips ==
* It has the same taming requirement as a black bear (35.1) but far better stats: 70–84 hit points and Tactics up to 90.
* At 35.1 it only obeys about 70% of the time; raise Taming and Lore a few points to make it reliable.
* Group it with other bears for the pack instinct damage bonus.
* Carve the corpse for 16 hides (32 in Felucca).
