Bereskarn are bears corrupted by the blight. They have lost their sentience and became ghouls, much like the blight wolves and corrupted spiders. Bereskarn are slothful creatures when left alone, but fierce and unyielding when they attack. They are often enraged and prodded into battle by the darkspawn. Tainted bears grow larger and sprout enormous bony spikes that protrude from their fur, causing severe wounds. The blood constantly seeps from these wounds, giving bereskarn a terrifying appearance and a nauseating smell.
