Editing Polar Bear

[[Image:Polar-bear.jpg|thumb|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..."<br>
"What do you want to do?"

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