Everyone likes bears don't they?

This week Byron "Messiah" Mudry starts the update process on our Hunter's Pet guide. A Hunter's pet is an extension of the Hunter themselves and really deserves a lot of attention. This guide update will give them that attention. It covers a complete look at each type of pet, skill and ability. In this first update all the pets from Bats to Dragonhawks are looked at, as well as all 4 basic abilities: Bite, Claw, Cower and Growl.

Bears are among the most popular of hunter pets due to a few key factors. Firstly, like bears in real life, bears will eat just about anything. Secondly, Bears have a huge health pool and good armor. While they suffer in damage output, their survivability makes up for it as a tanking pet.

The only pets that are potentially more popular than a bear is a cat, ravager or boar.

Skills: Bite, Claw, Cower, Growl
Stats: -9% Damage, +5% Armor, +8% Health
Food: Bread, Cheese, Fish, Fruit, Fungus, Meat
Type: Tank
