Enemies of the Norns- Bears

Bears- the word evokes rage in the heart of any Viking, and not just because I capitalize it even though it's not a proper noun (Vikings are even more hard-assed about grammar than Nazis)- Vikings and Bears are mortal enemies. The first Bear and Viking interspecies war began over salmon fishing rights in the plains of Neblheim; the Bears claimed rights because they had huge furry nuts, and the Vikings claimed rights because they had huge furry nuts. Vikings soon discovered that wearing Bear ballsack skins over their own ballsacks sent them into an uncontrollable rage, and as everyone knows, that's where the term "berserker" came from.

Not this kind of bear; Vikings love bear mechanics.

Unlike most enemies of the Norns (visigoths, gypsies, Romans, Persians, mexicans, etc), Bears are honorable and valorous in combat. They have been known to take out legions of rioting tiny brown people armed with screw drivers and sharpened tooth brushes (Bears hate the smell of lawn clippings), destroy entire gypsy clans and their used car lots, and truck-jack semis full of Clover honey exactly like in The Fast and The Furious. Alas, the hatred runs deep, and though Bears and Vikings share so much in common, Thor and the Great Bear Spirit demand vengeance for old grudges.

Bears are also well-known for their past service in the American military dropping napalm on charlie during 'Nam. Bears, as you know, are immune to fire, and can operate simple machinery like trucks and some types of helicopter (with proper training), making them extremely valuable to the Pentagon. Fortunately Vietnam is about as poor and unworthy of pillaging as countries come (close second to Somalia) so the Vikings never encountered a Bear piloting a helicopter over napalm-incinerated acres of jungle with a Bear platoon marching behind to mop up what was left.
