Ursa minor

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The ursa minors are perhaps the least fantastical of all monsters, though they nevertheless possess far more ferocity and strength than their natural counterparts. The species went into a prolonged hibernation after its debut in 1988, laying dormant for nearly three decades until 2013.
