The Bear Brothers are two vicious Pitt Slaves who fight the Lone Wanderer in The Hole, second in a series of fights in The Pitt. They are apparently on the way to becoming Trogs; they have been semi-affected by radiation.

Notes
Paladin Kodiak's original name was Greg Bear, and he comes from the Pitt, so one can assume there is a link between him and the Bear Brothers.
