Brown Bear
CharacterEverything a bear brings, packed into a person. Brown Bear hands Bearhead the muscle, the toughness, the sharpened senses, and the claws of the animal it names, a close-range Mutant Quirk that exists outside the main story in game material only.
Overview
Brown Bear, given in Japanese as Higuma, is the Quirk carried by Bearhead. It is a Mutant type built for close-range fighting.
The ability is not canon to the manga or anime. It originates in game material, and the wiki files it under non-canon Quirks, game original Quirks, and villain Quirks. No manga chapter or anime episode debut is recorded for it.
Mechanics
The Quirk hands its owner the traits of a bear across the board. Strength climbs well past human range, durability comes with it, and the user's senses sharpen considerably. Large claws, sharp enough to matter in a fight, round out the package.
Two named Super Moves belong to it. Roar of the Beast, given in Japanese as Yajū no Hōkō, and Fatal Wound, rendered as Chimeishō, both appear in game material.
