Many kinds of Bears dwell upon Titan, some of which have developed into specialist hunters of specific prey. One such example is the HARGON from the continent of Khul, a large furry beast with a brownish-grey pelt, great curved claws and a mouth full of sharp teeth. The Hargon hunts mainly near water, such as riverbanks, lake-shores, and sea-side beaches, and also swamps including Deathmoor and the Marsh Vile. This is because it lives mainly on fish, including some of the stranger types like Flesh Fish and Schoolfish. Having said that, the Hargon is not averse to eating warm-blooded creatures, rearing up on its hind legs, its snout wrinkling as its mouth opens in an ear-splitting roar, before lumbering forwards to attack!

The Hargon is also hunted by various tribes that share its semi-aquatic habitat, such as Swamp Orcs and Flintskins, who value its thick pelage which is both warm and waterproof, as well as its claws and fangs which make for excellent trophies worn by some of the bravest warriors. Tackling an angry Hargon alone is often the final step in the career of a novice hunter, for slaying such a creature demonstrates both skill and bravery, and allows one to take their rightful place among the tribal elite.
