ABOUT

This massive bear-like creature has white and gray feathers instead of fur on its hide.

Legend has it that the King of Polar Bears was unchallenged until he met man. Brought low by their guns, the men skinned the King but did not realize he was still alive. The polar king, bereft of his fur, was blessed by the gulls with feathers instead. He has been challenged many times, but the polar king has never been defeated.

They are chiefly found on Isa Poso, one of the few islands where arctic conditions are sufficient to support polar bears. During the winter months, some polar kings roam far enough south on ice floes to haunt the mountains of Thumbumbia. Polar kings spring up as revenants of sorts where polar bears have been skinned.

Nature fights back, and polar kings are the result.
