Background

Bear Two and his elder brother, Bear One, were raised by an elder in the Monster Mountain Range. After the elder's death, the brothers recognized Xiao Heng as the elder's inheritor and swore their lives to serving him in repayment. Xiao Heng accepted their pledge, believing they would have a better future traveling with him than cultivating alone in the range. 26

Initially, Bear Two remained in the Monster Mountain Range, where he trained Xiao Heng and helped him locate medicinal herbs. Xiao Heng commonly refined half of their finds into pills for Bear Two, while Bear Two's strength kept ordinary magical beasts from threatening them. 29 31

When Xiao Heng prepared to leave the range, Bear Two immediately wished to see the outside world. Bear One allowed him to travel with Xiao Heng, judging that the newly advanced fifth-tier bear was capable of protecting him. 33 Bear Two thereafter accompanied Xiao Heng through Black Rock City, Jia Nan Academy, and later journeys.

Appearance

Bear Two is an Earth Stone Bear whose appearance changed dramatically after his bloodline evolution.

• Originally possessed earthy-yellow fur similar to Bear One's. 59
• After evolving, his fur became nearly gold in color. 59
• Reverted to a one-meter-tall juvenile form after evolution, despite previously standing nearly two meters tall in his ordinary form. 59
• Can enlarge himself into a giant bear exceeding ten meters in height for battle. 59
• Possesses golden, metallic-looking Earth Stone Armor that covers all of his body except his head. 59
• Later developed a tuft of silver fur on his chest after being healed by Zi Yan. 414

Personality

Bear Two is straightforward, excitable, and notably less mature than Bear One. Xiao Heng and Bear One compare his intelligence and temperament to that of a twelve- or thirteen-year-old human. 33 He is easily delighted by new experiences, especially food, cities, and the prospect of fighting strong opponents. 35 38 223

He is deeply loyal to Xiao Heng, whom he treats as an elder brother, and remains attached to Bear One despite leaving the Monster Mountain Range. When he first experienced human cuisine, his immediate wish was for Bear One to enjoy it as well. 38 His confidence can become boastful, particularly after his evolution and victories in sparring against Bear One. 59 475
