Biology

Living in northern areas, it becomes energetic when swimming. It can also freeze its breath, making fangs and claws made of ice that are harder than steel to fight with. They can even freeze water and sleep on it when they're tired.

It is a ravenous carnivore. It freezes prey to preserve them. It is referred to and feared as "The Snow White Demon" in northern lands.

Design & origin

Beartic is based on a polar bear.
