 '''Sloth bears''' are rare solitary [[creature]]s that [[Thief|raid]] your [[food]] and [[alcohol|drink]] [[stockpile]]s who may be found in [[tropical]] [[forest]]s. They are the smallest species of bear in the game, though they're still nearly twice the weight of a [[dwarf]] and can make quick work of an unarmed civilian. No more than three sloth bears will inhabit a given surrounding before they become [[extinct]]. Unlike other species of bear, sloth bears do appear during the [[Calendar|winter]] season. An infant sloth bear is called a ''cub''.
-Sloth bears can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into fairly valuable exotic [[pet]]s. This makes them a fairly decent option for a highly rewarding breeding program: sloth bear parts are worth twice as much as those of more [[domestic animal]]s. However, unlike [[grizzly bear]]s, sloths bears cannot be trained for hunting or war.

-The sloth bear is a medium sized mammal found in tropical forests. Despite its name and some similar features, they are not related to sloths. They ''are'' related to bears, though they are smaller than most other bear species, being only half the size of a [[grizzly bear]] when fully grown.

-Wild sloth bears can be attracted to a Fortress by [[food]] or [[drink]], like other bears they will guzzle down any of it they can find unguarded. They can be dangerous with biting and scratching attacks, so armored dwarves are recommended to repel sloth bears. This behavior makes them easy to capture, however: using a [[cage trap]] or six around otherwise unguarded food stockpiles when sloth bears are in the area will usually net you some of them.

-Sloth bears can be tamed, but not trained for hunting or war. They have an adequate pet value and can make good protection pets for dwarves of medium importance. Sloth bears do not produce [[milk]] or [[wool]], but they have good [[meat]] returns for their size (oddly enough, nearly the same as the twice-as-big grizzly bears), and as they do not have the [[Grazer]] attribute they can be pastured in areas without grass. Additionally, sloth bear yields have a 2x [[value multiplier]] and only take one year to grow to adulthood, which all together makes them a reasonable base for a [[meat industry]] in fortresses where they can be found. A sloth bear is comparable to a [[black bear]].
