Battle bear

Summon forth your battle bear, fully armored to protect the savage beast from singeing its lustrous fur on the smoldering carnage left in its wake.

The bears of Abalathia's Spine are not known to suffer the presence of man in their territory, let alone allow one to mount their backs and command them hither and yon. Then what, pray tell, has come over this particular specimen? Perhaps one look into your inner beast convinced the creature that submission spelled survival.
