Editing Mossbears (section)

== Biology ==
They are recognizable by their green fur, which is often covered in lichen. Mossbears are larger than the average black or brown bear, and some can even exceed polar bears in size. They are generally peaceful unless disturbed or hungry.<ref name="gloss">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/19/glossary/ The Wandering Inn Glossary]</ref> They are quite intelligent, probably even more so than normal bears.<ref name="6.34E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/07/27/6-34-e/ Chapter 6.34 E]</ref>

:''Note:For those who don't study bears, or don't feel like googling it, based on the comparisons they are usually around 8 feet at the shoulder when standing on their hind legs and 700 pounds, but can grow to be over ten feet at the shoulder and exceed 1000 pounds.''

=== Diet ===
Voracious eaters, Mossbears sustain their massive bodies by eating magical lichens and plants, which they have learned to identify over countless years of evolution.<ref name="gloss" /> They might also be more attracted to other magical beasts, like [[Ashfire Bees]].<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/16/6-08/ Chapter 6.08]</ref>

They also use their fur as a disguise for hunting wildlife, for example deer.<ref name="4.35E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/05/15/4-35-e/ Chapter 4.35 E]</ref> Their diet also consists of plant roots, berries and the like, and even the tamed [[Bismarck]] needs to scavenge in the woods to maintain his weight.<ref name="5.09E">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/08/07/5-09-e/ Chapter 5.09 E]</ref>
