Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is a spirit beast, said to be among the most powerful bears in history and, once mature, afraid of no predator, not even a true dragon. It carries the name Earth Render and stands at the apex of the spirit beast lineage. Attack and defense are both its specialty: dark golden fur for the one, and the long dark golden claws that give the species its name for the other. Some of the Behemoth's bloodline runs in it, and it is a proud creature that prefers to live alone. Cubs eat meat from birth with their teeth already in, and their cultivation runs ahead of their age because they grow by devouring other spirit beasts. A newborn is under a meter long and pitch black; at a thousand years it passes three meters with a gold sheen coming through the black and claws over two feet long; at ten thousand it stands more than seven meters.
