Cthellean Cudbear

The Cudbear is native to the Death World of Cthelle. Aside from its long claws, teeth and shaggy purple hair the Cudbear looks much like a traditional Terran bear. Its thick fur is particularly adept at protecting the creature from the cold and wet environment of the planet’s temperate forest and mountain regions. A natural predator, the Cudbear is extremely dangerous and territorial. It has been known to attack large groups of individuals, even heavily armed individuals, who may wander near its home. Authorities on Cthelle have reported a few known incidents of the creature climbing aboard out-going spacecraft in search of food and massacring the crews.
