Notes 

• Providing cheer, comfort, and necessary fuel for all those exploring the North Pole, it is the Cola Bear! These specially trained polar bears are entrusted with hauling morale boosting, sharp tasting cola on their backs. Typically in original flavor, but sometimes in holiday appropriate 'spiced' and 'aged vanilla.'
• Allies of the Cola Bear have a better chance to resist fear and charm spell and effect. They can also gain temporary hit points by either sampling a refresh cola beverage or finding joy the jingling bells that hangs from the bear's back.
•  While trying to maintain their jolly facade, a Cola Bear will defend their cargo and their allies. A Cola bear is capable of both paw and bite attacks.
