I went with something a little different. My Beorning is patterned off the concept of a Lakota Sioux shaman named Matowica (mat-o-wee-cha) Eightfeathers, who is also what the Sioux call a "skinwalker" or shapechanger. In the Lakota language, Matowica means Bear Man and his totem animal is the bear (of course). Like the Lakota, some of his favorite weapons are the bow and a war club. Not exactly historically accurate in appearance but fun.

I'm now an Imgur fan.
