Bears are one of the most dangerous animals in UrW and can easily kill inexperienced players. They are solitary animals, and can sometimes be found hibernating in caves. Bears are quite aggressive, although it depends on the individual. One of the Advanced adventures tasks requires the player to kill a bear. Bears can be a fun animal to hunt but they can be very dangerous. Even if you can manage to defeat a bear it may injure you to the point where you bleed to death before you have the time to tend your wounds or get back to camp. It would be advisable to wear metal armor before setting out on a bear hunt.
One "easy" way to kill a bear is to go hunting with at least two dogs and unleash them, when the bear charges you. The dogs will fight the bear allowing you to strike him without getting hurt.
Alternatively, bears can be killed or incapitated using a spiked pit trap. These work best when placed on the bears regular paths, indicated by pawprints, and baited with food bears usually seek out, such as raw fish or berries (during summer).
Their skins can be made into fur, and bear fur has the highest warmth value of all furs. Bears give around 300 (As of v3.16, a small bear gave 104 cuts of meat and a normal sized bear gave 164 cuts) cuts of meat. Their meat is also as nutritious as salmon, where 1 cut of bear meat is roughly equal to 1/3 of a Salmon, making bears the overall most rewarding animal to hunt.
As of v3.15p1: bears remain one dangerous group. Even trapped in a pit, they still can fight back if you stand in their reach, and take 10 arrows from northern bow to die.

URW Game Encyclopedia description
The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes the bear thusly:
The bear is considered to be the most important creature living in The Unreal World. Peoples take the bear as their ancestor, they talk about The Great Bear, whose children they are. Therefore the bear is not merely an animal, it is also a spiritual being linked with The Otherworld and the primordial Beginning. Killing a bear is a matter of great ceremony and rites.
Physically, a male bear's weight is usually about 200 kg, females being slightly smaller. The fur is tufty and its color ranges from blackish-brown to yellowish-brown. The bear is quite an agile animal, it can easily swim and even climb trees. It also uses its forepaws in hunting.
Bears hibernate over the winter. People hunt hibernating bears, although it is really dangerous - a disturbed bear is extremely angry and willing to kill all the intruders.
