Cave Bear
Level 8 Wildlife · Mountain Peak
In Desperados Destiny, Cave Bear is a level 8 wildlife — a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet.
Field notes
The apex predator of the mountain. This bear has survived conditions that kill anything weaker. Encountering it near the summit is a death sentence without preparation.
What you are walking into
Cave Bear is level 8, carries 80 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It leans on pressure, degrading your draws before a card is turned; steady hands matter more than big ones. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Cave Bear plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Cave Bear
Cave Bear is encountered at Mountain Peak. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Mountain Peak covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 170 experience and between $6 and $13. Its loot table can yield Bear Pelt, Tallow, Claws, Bile, Canyon Bear Claw Gauntlets and Dense Cave Bear Pelt. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
