while riding the direbear you can harvest honey withought being attacked.

This is the creature you want on any type of sever you play on.

All I can say is it hits like a truck.

On official they can be the best starter tame you can get. Just don't get too excited because they struggle to kill spinos and up on abb. They work just like rhinos in the charge up run but the damage does not multiply. Becareful around these they can easily get a max level drake down to 50%. Overall they are a very good starting tame good at speed damage and health but they aren't as good end game.

Probably the most versatile ground mount. Can kill almost everything, with good saddle and imprint can even kill Alpha Rexes and death worms. Can gather honey, berries, meat, fiber, hide, pelt etc. At full speed can outrun Gallis and Micro raptors. You can shoot while mounted so it's good as taming companion. It also has an insulation effect like Otter and Dimetrodon so you can use it in cold/hot areas or for egg hatching. You can safely gather honey with right click, so if you have one you can tame others with high efficiency without kibble.

Just so you know they won’t attack unless you attack

Them they are also very fast and good tames

Bears can’t jump in Ark. They do have a super cute emote when leveling up to make up for it tho <3

The dire bear actually catches speed the longer you run, just found that out

If you need honey the bear is for you! I got one for this purpose alone. The bees will not knock you off the bear nor will they attack it at all so he's great for honey collecting. Make sure he dont reat it all on the way back!!!

Who needs a Rex when you’ve got one of these?

Very glass canon-y. Sure it hits like a truck but can also die very quickly, so pump a good amount of HP on these.

Has low kockback so be carefully what you fight

dont attack this unless you are a pro.a level 44 dire bear clapped my lvl 164 carbonemys

I killed 3 alpha raptors 1 alpha carno and a lvl 26 rex with it pump up melle damage and helth

They don’t have any sounds like the other creatures do when they attack, bite or roar on mobile. I think it might be the same for other platforms.

Boss tests:

Tests against gamma megapithecus: Shredded, no bears died

Beta megapithecus: 3 bears died, still did pretty well

Alpha megapithecus: All bears died (RIP 😭😭😭)

The last little brave soldier lasted for 3 minutes before accepting his fate

Will do other bosses soon.

Btw bears were level 430-480

Test was done with only a yuty and spawned in 122 asc saddles.

It does not make sense that "BEAR" trap dind't work on dire bear

Tame a medium lvl and pump it into movement speed a LOT. I did it and now I can outrun griffin's flying at my full speed

When breeding you can feed newborns honey - they eat it roughly every 47 seconds it weighs 0.1 and has a 1hr 20 min spoil time so it’s great for getting them to juvi or at least mass berry stage.

If you sprint in flat land such as redwoods they will slowly gain speed higher and higher which is also realistic because some modern bears will have bluff charges in which they will charge at you as soon as they see you to test your aggression towards them and then they will stop before you and if you’ve hurt them then or anyway before then or showed any other signs of aggression they may attack or run. Usually run. But in humans case usually attack.

Excellent for fibre, berries and is extremely fast ,deals high damage and on top of that is dubiously cute and adorable ( sits down like a baby )

And waves at you when levelled up.
