petition to bring back defender bears

Please bring back defender bears. Since people didn't like them before, I suggest: disable them for story mode. in sandbox they are available in the world settings to turn on and off. The option could even be automatically unchecked. Or perhaps some sort of changes can be made to the bears so they're more likeable. 

they were really fun sometimes. when the game is hard, it's fun! i had a father and son get killed by a defender bear once and it was sad but it made a cool story for the remaining family.

Yes bring them back if possible please!

I'd be willing to live with this

I would like this.

What were defender bears? I don't think I was playing Niche in the period that they existed so I've only ever heard of them. What was their purpose and why did everyone hate them so much?

They attacked any nicheling that hunted and if the nicheling wasn't around, they'd hurt a different one. They were supposed to spare babies, but there was a bug that made them target them

if you touched a rabbil within like 6 tiles of them they'd kill you...not so fun for your run-of-the-mill game but i think they're a great challenge when you want it

Ah now I see why people hated them so much. Yeah it should be a sandbox setting lol

If I remember right, they would also attack you if you hit a rogue too

Ah I see! Would they attack you for attacking a bearyena?

I think they would attack you if you attacked anything near them

I never dared to find out if attacking a berry bush counted

That would be both funny and terrifying at the same time
