	In [[Dungeons & Dragons]], the werebear is one of the few [[Alignment\|Good]] [[therianthrope]]s, with the only other one being the [[Wereraven]]. Perhaps due to this, they are one of the "core" therianthropes, and have appeared in the [[Monster Manual]] for virtually every single edition, ever since their debut in The White Box in 1974. The only exception is [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], where werebears never appeared as a monster at all - in keeping with the edition's philosophy that monsters should be at least Unaligned by default, rather than waste page space on Good monsters your party would probably never actually fight. Instead, due to choosing not to rework werebears as an Unaligned creature the way that [[Metallic Dragon]]s were, werebears were preserved and thusly only appeared as a PC template in 4th edition (see below).

	The D&D werebear is a nature-loving solitary creature, typically dwelling in a cabin deep in the wilderness somewhere - preferably a deep temperate forest or taiga near well-stocked waters, with the whole territory averaging 1-4 ~~squad~~ miles. Due to their territorial instincts and reliance on nature's bounty, werebears are natural game wardens, striving to maintain and protect their territory and its ecology from harm. They are omnivores, with a taste for honey, which they are known to brew into an extremely potent mead. Although friendly enough when not provoked, werebears prefer to be alone; they don't even form family units the way most werebeasts do, and instead, males and females simply mate when they feel in season - the closest they get to marriage is having a preferred lover that they will usually seek out first when they feel inclined to have sex. A female werebear produces 1 or 2 children, born as humans that don't gain the ability to shapeshift until they reach adolescence at the age of eight, whereupon their mother drives them off and goes looking for a mate to get pregnant again. Such newly independent young are discreetly guided and assisted by older werebears.

	Despite their apparent isolationism and rugged individualism, werebears have a sense of community. They never attack each other and aid any werebear threatened by another therianthrope species - most commonly [[werewolves]] and [[wererat]]s, whom they despise. Werewolves in particular loathe werebears and will often clash with them.

	Werebears do not travel a great deal. Only the rare individual (usually young) can be coaxed into joining a band of adventurers. Werebears may join an adventuring group as guides, provided the money is right and the job is agreeable. For obvious reasons, werebears are not particularly materialistic; their treasures (assuming they have any) are usually limited to small, valuable commodities like gold, platinum, gems, and jewelry. Werebears rarely carry any treasure and instead hide it near their homes. They also collect scrolls, potions, and other magical items, often as fees or rewards for past services. Werebears destroy any magical items that specifically affect therianthropes or bears, since such items might be used against themselves.		Werebears do not travel a great deal.
