The Volturnian cave bear is a large (7 meters), hairless creature inhabiting the caverns of Volturnus. It attempts to eat any organic substance it finds, including the player characters. The Volturnian cave bear normally attacks by slashing the victim with its massive foreclaws, attempting to sweep the unfortunate creature into a hug. If the bear's normal attack succeeds on a roll of 10 or less, it has caught the character in its hug. The cave bear does 2d10 points damage each turn until the victim dies or breaks the hold (at -20, due to the bear's great strength).
