A Platypus Bear

A platypus bear is a large mammal found throughout the Earth Kingdom. It is quite vicious, and has been known to attack humans. Its fur is mostly brown with a shallow white "V" on its chest and a patch of lighter brown around its eyes. The creature has a large bill lined with jagged teeth and a beaver-like tail. Its front paws are padded with claws and it has large, webbed hind feet. The platypus bear is capable of standing upright and also lays eggs rather than giving birth to live young. A Platypus Bear can lay eggs rather quickly, especially when in fear. The Platypus Bear can also be trained and has been seen as both a circus animal and a brute enforcer.
