Zombie Bears
Zombie Bears is a rune effect in Zombie Charger, a Physical Realm Witch Doctor skill.
This rune effect summons a pack of zombie bears that charge forward for a short distance, stampeding over and through any enemies and dealing 235% poison damage to anything in the area. This is one of the Witch Doctor's more damaging attacks, and though it is short range, it hits across a quite wide space.

Background[edit | edit source]
The bear effect was created by Julian Love and revealed at Blizzcon 2010, where it became something of a meme or running joke, where the Diablo III devs referred to it in interviews and panels with unbearable frequency. [1]
Media[edit | edit source]
Two screenshots of the zombie bears. It's hard to get a good shot of them as they move quickly and have a skinless, bloody mess of an exterior. The bear-ness of them is much more visible in a video than a still image.
