Dis be my charactah story, mons an' wo'mons. Read it carefully, and you be given a cookie.
Muraq had humble beginnings. He was born in the Storm Peaks as a Stormhoof, to Taho Stormhoof and Lanalee Stormhoof. He led a happy life as a child, until his village was attacked by a band of gnolls with flaming torches. The whole village was destroyed, and he was one of few who managed to escape in time. As a young little tauren, there wasn’t much he could do to survive in the cold wild. He scavenged, fished, trapped small mammals, foraged for roots and berries, and lived in a small cave, where he befriended an abandoned Ice Bear cub.
The 2 younglings grew older with each passing day. One night, when the snow of the storm peaks was illuminated by the thunderbolts dropping from the heavens, a Taunka hunter found Muraq and the bear sleeping in the small cave they called home. He decided to wait until they woke up, and sat down in the cave, and warmed himself by the small, crackling fire.
The morning came, and the Taunka told Muraq that he was out hunting, when he found the cave. Later, the bear, Muraq, and the Taunka walked to the nearest Taunka village. Muraq was accepted among the tribe.
3 Years Later…
Muraq stood by the fire in the middle of the Taunka Village. His rite of passage will soon commence. His task was to go out in the wild for a month, and bring back 50 Bear skins. 2 of the village guards took him to the edge of the forest, and left him there. With bear at heel, he disappeared into the snow-covered woods.
Time goes by, and as his bond with the bear increased, he gradually learned the way of the bear. He did not have the heart to slay any bears, as he felt as one of them. In that wood, he hunted prey a bear would. Caribou, moose, elk, and the similar. The time has come to return to the village, and he is met by the 2 guards. The pack made of moose hide on his back seems filled of skins, so the guards quietly applaud him. Back at the village, the chief looks though his pack, finding only elk skins, caribou skins, reindeer skins, and a few wolf skins. Upon seeing Muraq has not brought back any bear skins, the Chief banishes him from the village.
Muraq wandered the Storm Peaks, with his bear being his only companion. Sometimes they merge, creating one being, with the body of the bear, and the mind of the tauren.
Question: Any suggestions on what I should call Bear?

As for bear name, I guess it is up to Muraq to name his bear..
