Winged Laser-eyed Bears

Magic has gone too far. Lone wizard in his tower made something as scary as an owlbear - a bear that can fly and shoot lasers out of its eyes. Whether it was a lost bet, a wild night that started by drinking too much, or something none of us could ever conceive, reason for their existence is a mystery.

Winged Predators. Unlike common bears, you never know when to expect the winged laser-eyed bears to strike. They can fly high above the forests, much like eagles, and prefer to attack using their laser eyes from the distance, while avoiding the attacks of their foes.

Monster of Legend. Existence of winged laser-eyed bears is a well-established fact, but what many don't know of is the myth of the woodsman and the bear.

In this story, the woodsman is attacked by a winged laser-eyed bear as he wants to cut down the greatest tree in a forest. Woodsman tries to explain himself, saying he does not want his family to freeze to death during winter, so the two make a deal - if the woodsman can climb to the top of the forest and tie a grassblade to the highest branch of the forest, the bear will not only allow it to cut down the greatest tree in the forest, but also hunt enough food for the woodsman to ensure his family will never starve again. The woodsman agrees to the deal, and starts to climb up the tree. As he gets higher and higher, the bear flies by his side, watching carefully as to ensure that woodsman will not cheat. Woodsman finds this very strange, seeing how bear did not specify any restrictions to this challenge, but he climbs on.

Just like the prophets once said... It's the end times!

The woodsman ascends the tree, the branches getting thinner and thinner. He gets nervous, hoping none of them will break underneath his weight. It's just then that one indeed breaks, and the woodsman finds himself holding onto the tree with only one hand. Down below him hundreds of feet fall to the ground.

Moral of the story is this: Do not trust talking winged laser-eyed bears.
