Legendary Brown Bear

The Legendary Brown bear was a Himalayan brown bear (Ursus arctos isabellinus) encountered by Venom Snake in 1984 Afghanistan.

Behind the Scenes
The legendary brown bear was referenced by gaming journalists and preview testers as being a particularly difficult animal to take down. This bear was deemed a priority target subject to capture by Diamond Dogs through an NGO dedicated to animal conservation.

Gameplay
As opposed to most brown bears which are Eurasian brown bears (specifically Asiatic brown bears), this particular bear is a Himalayan brown bear. He is distinguishable from the others by his fur, which is colored in a white-ish color as opposed to the rest being dark brown. When facing this individual, the bear is more difficult to take down. Most brown bears can be knocked out with a single shit from a Grade 1 Wu Silent Pistol if shot in the head while the bear is not alert and if alert then it doesn't take long to wait for the tranquilizer to take effect.
