Berand

A bear, from the woods. An extremely generic minor antagonist from Experimental Dungeon Novel, he hasn't even made an appearance in his home story. Functions off DND 3.5 rules, and rolled for stats. He was awakened by a random druid who saw him stuck trying to get honey out of a wasp nest who thought 'if any creature in nature needs more brains, it's that bear'.

Personality
Berand may not buy food, and instead steals, begs, or accepts as tribute edible material. Technically he hunt/gathers as well, but that's generally in the form of stealing anyway.

Joined the SOS for nebulous reasons, fights without cause.
