In the new update they can collect double the honey from beehives and the bees don't damage the bear. P's they're also getting a new model

Great tame for starters tryna explore the snow area because it can keep you warm and can defend you pretty well

Faster than a giga, strong as a rex, with some levels can get to 1k carry, can gather and eat both berries and meat,can even gather fiber, if you tame a high level one you have a super gathering and combat mount. Unmatched in utility.

Every dino you must have

Anky the living pickaxe (metal, obsidian)

Doedicurus the living axe (stone mostly)

Dire bear the living sickle (fiber, that pretty much it)

Argy the litteral cargo on ark (litterly lots of weight reduction)

Castoroides the ark lumberjack (woods)

Trike the soil master (tatch, berries)

Dire wolf the living tannery (hde, pelt, chitin)

Tyranosaurus rex the ark butcher (meat, prime meat, mutton)

Their level up animation is the cutest🖤

Good at most caves if it is a big open cave with no jumps

With the tamed dire bear they can kill alphas (Carnos,raptors) my 123 lvl dire bear was able to kill an alpha raptor lvl 72. They make great companions and their babies are cute

Its‌ li‌ke a ‌b‌e‌ar b‌ut dire ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Due to it's large aoe bite and low knock back it is ideal for hunting for leech blood in swamps

Hits like a Mac truck, more damage than a rex, easily 8k hp, super fast, LOTS of weight, awesome stam, great attack speed, gathers meat, berries, and fiber, super easy to tame, cheap saddle, pretty much a cheap theri that hits like a rex, fast as a galli, and has quetz weight. I’m pretty much just waiting for a nerf.

The paw smack collects more prime meat and the bite attack collects more hide

Anyone else think they should have a weight reduction on honey 🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯🍯

A high level can easily take down Alpha Carno's. It's perfect for taming other animals since it can collect both berries and prime meat. It can go through the central cave and is a highly speedy mount with good carry weight. It's also cuddly.

FOR MOBILE PLAYERS!

1) Bite - Tap

2) Swipe - Swipe up

3) Stand and roar - Swipe down

A level 1 direbear can do around 100 damage and we are talking about a wild one, a tamed one can do up to 150 damage, they are like therizino, expect direbear’s base health is very low, a level one wild dire bear has only 400 health

Paint it yellow and the back legs red and call it winnie the poo

Really fast and has proven to match a Rex so in my opinion the deadliest land mount besides the giga

Theses things are AMAZING for pvp, many people don't know, but like the woolly rhino, they get a speed and attack buff when running.

Bears are perhaps the best bodyguards for protecting in-progress tames without needing to stick around and babysit the whole process. Their main advantage for this role (compared to other powerful tames) is that almost EVERYTHING aggros them, even the measly dilophosaur.

Station a few bears in strategic locations around your KO, then sit back and relax knowing that any predators that come by will attack - and promptly get demolished by - your bear brigade.

Do not upgrade the speed because it will only make the walking faster, also the longer you run the faster the bear will run.
