Power: 1 | Speed: 3 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Root Warrens
Origins: Root Bear lives in the Root Warrens, the underground network where Earth's oldest root systems run, and has developed combat techniques based on downward force rather than horizontal collision. It's not a traditional Earth brawler. Its 1/3 stat line reflects a card that fights with leverage rather than mass – the pull is worth more than the Power stat implies.
Finishing Move: Deep Root Pull: Grabs and pulls down – uses the Root Warren network to yank a target into the ground, immobilising it at the point of maximum disadvantage.
Synergy & Rivalry: Excellent crowd control in an Earth deck – creates openings rather than filling them. Nature's Bark Hound shares several territorial boundaries and they have an unspoken understanding about which one handles what.
