Bear
The Bear is a medium health, medium damage hollow that earns its farming popularity through its drop table rather than its difficulty. Community documentation lists three drops: the Bear Mantle, the Fur Pelt (shared with Panthers), and the Conquerors Trophy - more documented loot than almost any other standard hollow.
Its moveset is aggressive but fully counterable. Slash is the basic m1 string, swung twice per string, at low-medium damage with medium posture damage. Roaring Slam opens with a roar and crashes down for low damage but medium posture damage. Running Bite is the move to respect: a charging chomp at low-medium damage with high posture damage - block it carelessly and your guard will crack.
Every move in the kit is parryable, blockable and dodgeable, so a parry-focused player can farm Bears safely. No spawn zone or respawn timer is documented for the Bear in the community source.

FAQ
What does the Bear drop?
Three documented drops: the Bear Mantle, the Fur Pelt (also dropped by Panthers), and the Conquerors Trophy.
Which Bear attack is most dangerous?
Running Bite - it carries high posture damage, so blocking it repeatedly risks a guardbreak. Parry it or dodge the charge instead.
