Bear

Bears  were large and somewhat childlike creatures. They are depicted as strong but gentle, who pass their time napping and eating honey, but are also very wise, intelligent, and are very loyal to Merlin.

Description
From what is known, bears in the Whispy Woods are about the same size as Earth bears.

Although each species of bear has certain different characteristics about them, which separates them from the others, the most common things that all bears have is their large bodies, with stocky legs, long snouts, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five nonretractile claws, and short tails.
