856

856 is a sizable, towering boar with brown fur. He possesses light-colored ears situated high on his broad forehead, which he frequently keeps oriented backwards. One of his easily identifiable traits is his tendency to lip-smack as well as having a low head carriage. He is the largest bear in Katmai, standing above other large bears like 747 and 32.

856 is notable for his hyper-aggressive attitude, which, when paired with his tall build, has contributed to his status as the most dominant bear at Brooks for numerous years, even surpassing heavyweights (in a literal sense!) like 747; however, in recent years, this dominance has begun to wane.His presence can exert a significant influence on other bears - many are eager to steer clear of him, often making a swift retreat upon his approach.

856 was first identified in Brooks Falls as a young adult in 2006, when he’d often be seen pirating from other bears.
