Perhaps explains where the bear came from?

"Ultima VIII: Pagan," released in 1994, is the eighth installment in the long-running Ultima series, developed by Origin Systems. Set in the dark and hostile realm of Pagan, the game follows the Avatar, the series' protagonist, who is inadvertently transported to this perilous world. Departing from the traditional Britannian setting, Ultima VIII offers a real-time, isometric perspective and focuses on a more action-oriented gameplay style. The Avatar must navigate through the chaotic realm, battling creatures, solving puzzles, and mastering the magic system to confront the Guardian, a powerful antagonist. While praised for its atmospheric design and intricate storytelling, Ultima VIII faced criticism for its departure from certain RPG elements and a perceived departure from the series' established norms. Despite this, it remains a notable chapter in the Ultima series, reflecting an experimental phase in the evolution of computer role-playing games."
