The arrival of a Witcher of the Bear School, famed for its brutality and dislike for teamwork, is sufficient to put Geralt on the defensive. However in Challenge #2 of the collection, the implied menace posed by the huge Witcher turns into an instantaneous one, as he ambushes Geralt within the forest, hanging to kill.

At first, it seems that this hulking monster hunter, the vampire killing townsfolk, and a pack of mutant wolves patrolling the forest are all unrelated threats. However that each one adjustments when the Witcher of the Bear College lets out a whistle, signaling the mutant wolves to emerge from hiding and assault Geralt.​​​​​​​

Whereas the mutations which create Witchers is part of established lore, the concept those self same monster hunters would then mutate different animals in service to them is totally new. New and, contemplating each the torture of the method and the ensuing beasts’ kinds, significantly brutal.

That’s extra plausible when attributed to a Witcher of the Bear College, a column of the unique Witcher group that teaches solitary energy, competitors, and victory by any means, the extra brutal the higher. However even for them, no lore or canon has ever instructed the breaking or mutating of enslaved beasts.

The story of The Bear and The Butterfly remains to be unfolding, which suggests Geralt should still uncover extra secrets and techniques of this darkish twist on ‘beastmastery’ as a weapon wielded by Witchers. Will Geralt be tempted to experiment himself, or will his dislike for the Bear College deepen, with this new revealed observe?
