Bear pet in WoW Forever

Bears learn Bite, Claw, Dash and the new Swipe, which hits 3 nearby enemies (client, build 70450). Testers measure Swipe rank 1 at about 4 damage with no attack power scaling, but bears are a common pick for solo play and holding several mobs. The Ursera of Zephras Isle, the Skyborne starting zone, are a bear look only Forever has. It eats meat, fish, cheese, bread, fungus, fruit.
