Kodan

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki

The kodan are a race of armored polar bears inhabiting bays and harbors near the Shiverpeak Mountains. Once inhabiting the icy seas, the rise of Jormag forced them to move their large, mobile sanctuaries closer to land.

Although they share several similarities to the norn (and indeed, it is speculated by some scholars that they share a common ancestry), they are not known to have any connection to the fighting species.

[edit] Trivia

• A race of armored bears also appears in the form of the panserbjørne in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.
