Field Report Summary

Physical Description

Possesses the thick, white fur of a Polar Bear but with a significantly smaller, more streamlined body. Forepaws are enlarged and paddle-like, tipped with robust claws for digging and swimming. The snout is the most striking feature: a pink, fleshy proboscis ringed with 22 fleshy appendages like the Star-Nosed Mole, used to detect prey in icy tunnels. Eyes are small and nearly hidden beneath the fur. The tail is short and stubby.

Habitat

Arctic tundra and coastal regions.

Dietary Behavior

Consumes roots, tubers, and insects, using its powerful claws to burrow underground.

Evolutionary Origin

Mix between a wolverine and a polar bear, adapted to survival in the freezing climates of the arctic.

Behavioral Notes

Builds extensive tunnel systems beneath the snow.
