Origin
Extreme cold enhanced its hollow hairs, which trap air and let some light through to the dark skin beneath.

A massive white bear cub with a wide, boxy body, a cream muzzle, a black nose and four huge paws with dark soles.

Evolution
Line E-09: Polar Bear
Barkpaw → Frostbruin
Condition: growing up in a consistently cold region.
The bark-like protective plates shrink, while the fur grows longer, hollow and insulating. The heavy bear silhouette remains, but the coat’s job shifts from armor to keeping warm.
