Trivia

Origin

Beartic is based on the polar bear, a species of bear found primarily in the Arctic Circle.

Name origin

Beartic is a combination of bear, or possibly beard, and arctic. Notably, arctic itself derives from ἄρκτος arktos, Ancient Greek for bear.

Tunbear may be a combination of tundra, 氷柱 tsurara (icicle), and bear.
