The dangers of the Storm Coast are many and varied, but few more remarkable than the dreaded skybears. I myself only believed them fanciful tales until I journeyed along the coast. There I saw these large, magnificent beasts take to the air as a tiny sparrow might.

The winds that blow off ocean whips through their thick fur as they step from the top of a rocky cliff. For several minutes, they glide through the air, hunting for prey. Upon spotting it, they swoop down then and, with a fearsome roar, maul whatever creature they wish for their meal.

Those that travel the coast quickly learn to always keep an eye upwards, even in the most brutal of storms. I had several encounters with the beast; each time the skybear was upon us within a few seconds of our lookout spotting it. Even forewarned, it wounded, and in one case killed, the soldiers traveling with me. I cannot imagine the carnage to a simple merchant caravan or group of fishermen.

((OOC: I've had about four bears literally drop from the air in front of me while exploring the Storm Coast. I have no idea what causes them to do that.))

Flying bears? You must be mad! They were obviously dwarves

(Every time I take Varric out, he spawns 3 ft in the air)

Rofl...they wanted people to really be reminded of the open world of Skyrim and the falling Mammoths there so they had to have Skybears in DA:I

Can I ride one?

When I saw the thread title I thought the skybears would be more like dropbears, hoop snakes, jackalopes, Pecos Bill, etc.

Few creatures are as perfidious as the simple dwarf. Most are not to be trusted but even those who consider you a companion may seek to torment you in the most peculiar ways.

I have lately journeyed through the Hinterlands of Ferelden with a scout of dwarven stock who would hop when I turned away. Yes, dwarves are remarkable hoppers! Their strong legs combined with low weight allows them to make vertical jumps of up to two meters.

The first time, I turned to see her land and she immediately stoped, acting as though she'd been doing nothing odd. Upon questioning her, she expressed confusion and even suggested that I might be seeing things.

I caught her doing this at least a dozen times after that. Not once did she acknowledge what she was jumping. What sort of perverse delight this granted her, I cannot say. Who can comprehend the mind of a dwarf?

Sky Bears? Better start a Hundred Day Hunt.
