Ersine

The Ersine are a gigantic race of anthropomorphic bears that are as kind as they are deadly. Largely considered by the other races as gentle giants, the Ersine make for a formidable fighter.

Among the mortal races, the Ersine are generally the kindest. It is not uncommon for an Ersine to intervene on the side of Good whenever they see injustice, and may even intervene if a human is the victim of the injustice. Even so, these gentle souls are not afraid to take up arms against what they consider to be evil.
