'''Blind cave bears''' are large [[caverns|subterranean]] predators that appear only one at a time to hunt dwarves. Unlike bears of the surface world ([[black bear]]s, [[grizzly bear]]s or [[polar bear]]s), blind cave bears are not attracted by [[food]] or [[alcohol|drink]] and cannot be lured into [[trap]]s with anything less than either blind luck or a strategically placed [[Defense_guide#Animals|kitten on a rope]]. They are not actually blind, at least not really, possessing the <tt>[EXTRAVISION]</tt> tag despite having no eyes - the end result is that (ironically) they cannot be blinded. They are also of the <tt>[LARGE_PREDATOR]</tt> class, which means that they will opportunistically attack any dwarves that approach - unless that dwarf happens to be a [[skill|great]] [[battle axe|axedwarf]] in full [[steel]] [[armor]], they're not likely to survive the encounter.

They can be trapped and [[tame]]d by an [[animal trainer]] and make decent [[pet]]s. They are also useful dead: blind cave bear parts and products are worth three times as much as those of domestic animals, and a single bear will keep a [[bone carver]] busy for a while. [[Goblin]]s have been known to arrive on them during [[siege]]s.
