What is your strategy for confronting the animal Bear, Black in Dungeons & Dragons?
More info on this animal in an AD&D setting: Source 1
A very well rounded forest animal. It can swim very well and has great speed. It's low AC / HP and limited number per encounter diminish it's strength greatly.
For a GM this is a good Brute / Soldier monster to use in combat. Throw in a handful of archers with cover and your party is in trouble.
