Bear Commander

Goal:
Kill all werewolves. Only wakes up during the first night to show himself to the game master. If at least one of his direct living neighbors is a werewolf, everyone is informed at the onset of a new day.

Detailed description

While travelling through the country, the bear commander got a dancing bear that, in addition to being able to impress the audience, also has an excellent nose. If at least one of the bear commander’s two living direct neighbors belongs to the werewolf faction the scent of the werewolves causes the bear to roar a mighty growl at the beginning of a new day.

Hints for the game master and further rules

You have the option to remind the village if the bear has not growled, or you may not say anything. This will influence the upcoming discussion – so it is best to determine your approach beforehand.

Hints for using this in the app

If the bear commander is in the game and still alive, there is a query every morning whether his bear is growling. If you tap “Yes”, a growl will be played (even if the sound effects are switched off).
Attention: The device must not be switched to silent.
This query can also be deactivated in the card settings.

Hints for you if you’re playing this character

If the day does not begin with a growl, you have secure information about your neighbors. Pay special attention to whom is trying to accuse them and who may be protecting them.

Interactions

  • Pyromaniac: The bear of the bear commander does not recognize the pyromaniac as a werewolf.
  • Primeval wolf: If the bear commander is infected, the bear growls every following morning.
    If one of the neighbors is infected, he growls as well.
  • Wolfhound: The bear commander’s bear recognizes the wolfhound as a werewolf only if it has decided to be one.
  • Wolf child: The bear commander’s bear does not recognize the wolf child as a werewolf until it has mutated. If the role model dies during the night, the bear will detect the wolf child as a werewolf starting with the coming morning.
  • Wolf shaman: The hiding of the wolf shaman lasts through the day. Therefore, if the bear commander is sitting next to a hidden werewolf and a villager at the beginning of the day, the bear does not growl.
  • Yeti: If the bear commander is frozen, no growl will be heard even if one of the commander’s neighbors is a werewolf.
    The bear commander’s bear does not recognize the yeti as a werewolf.
