Lore: It is believed the Howler Bears of Sarkash lure prey by wailing like dying men. Some even form words. Whether the bear understands what it is saying, no one has lived close enough to ask. The woods echo with screaming and you do not know, anymore, what is a man and what is a bear.

Gaps / Expansion Notes
Whether Howler Bears can be reasoned with through the words they mimic, or whether they only learn the last words their meals knew, is the obvious horror-hook. Canonical phrase set is unbounded.
