  name: Bear Empathy
  traits:
  - divination
  - primal
description: Unlike many other types of werecreature, a werebear does not become malevolent
  during its involuntary transformations, but is instead filled with righteous conviction.
  This indignation can still manifest in violent ways, though, as a transformed werebear
  becomes temporarily blind to its alliances and has little control over its bestial
  temper. As a result, werebears are loners, rarely even living together as families
  longer than necessary. Werebears know that as long as they live solitary lives,
  they can serve as protectors and guardians in wilderness regions without the overwhelming
  fear that, when the moon is full and the curse takes hold, they will rage against
  an innocent bystander or loved one. As long as there is nothing around to threaten
  it or the natural area it protects (typically a forest), a werebear in its animal
  form is generally content to forage and sleep away the night.
