Polar bears are far stronger than both regular dire bears and abberant dire bears. As of right now I believe they are only tamable on Ragnarok, unless you use cheats on Genesis (polar region) and then breed two bears. If your force tame the baby, it will act like a legitimate tame once it reaches full maturity. Polar bears are a little harder to get, but their well worth it in terms of stats.
