Grudd Bear is an arena fighter in the Pitt in 2277 alongside his brother John Bear.
Background[]
During the Scourge, his other brother Greg was taken in by the Brotherhood. However, he and John were left behind due to being "too wild and mean."[1]
Grudd and John employ a particular effective method of attack, in which Grudd holds back and uses his Flamer to attack the target, while John attacks the target directly with his Deathclaw Gauntlet. Thanks to an addiction to RadAway, they are both nearly impervious to the arena’s radiation traps.[Non-game 1]
Relationships[]
Grudd is the brother of John Bear and Kodiak.

Faydra, coordinator of events in the Hole, comments on how the Bear brothers' ferocity leads people to believe that they are half trog.[2]

- ↑ Ishmael Ashur: "For example, they took one survivor, a kid the called "Kodiak". But they left his big brothers behind, because they were too wild and mean. But as it turns out, the Bear Brothers were some of my finest soldiers. At least, until they went up against you."
(Ishmael Ashur's dialogue) - ↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Who am I going to be fighting?"
Faydra: "Ashur says he wants to make this one good so he gave you the Bear Brothers. They're a couple of mean bastards. Hell, rumor has it that they're half way to Trog as it is. But I'm sure you'll do fine. Just fine."

Masters of "claw and paw" combat, John and Grudd Bear are man-mountains with a vicious winning streak in the Arena. Thanks to an addition to RadAway, they are almost impervious to the Arena's traps, and the siblings have developed an impressive plan of attack: one brother holds back, scorching the escaping foe with Flamer fire while the other rips the victim apart with a Deathclaw Gauntlet.""
