Polar Bear

Snowpeak River is home to the dangerous Polar Bear...

The Polar Bear sporadically visits wranglers fishing in the Snowpeak River region. When it approaches, you will see the following message:

"The Polar Bear is near by..."
"What do you want to do?"

You are given 4 options:

1. Slowly walk back and hide in my tent.
2. Take off and run.
3. Offer it my next few catches. (depends on the Polar Bear's hunger)
4. Scare it with the Massavior/Massacre Addon! (works best with a level 88+ pole)
