Ok, that was probably just a glitch. Either way, YouTuber and data miner Zullie The Witch has taken yet another huge dive into the game’s files to find out that they aren’t regular bears. They are bears or at least were at some point, yes, but these are in the process of becoming something else. Zullie got access to a beta version of the game where she came across a Runebear that lived outside the map. Upon killing it, Zullie got a dragon heart. This means that their huge stature seems to stem from the fact that some bears in this world actually end up becoming dragons.
