I Was Today Years Old When I Found Out Elden Ring’s Runebears Are Actually Dragon

I played Elden Ring for hours and spent a lot of time in Limgrave itself. Exploring every nook and cranny that can be found there. But nobody told me Rune Bears are Dragons! I feel like I’ve been living a lie. But weren’t they supposed to have wings? ******** it…

Elden Ring is known to be lore-rich and has a lot of secrets to be uncovered. This is common for all kinds of Soulsborne games, and hard to grab at times. Since all these stories are told in small riddles, it becomes almost impossible. Being a person who’s as sharp as a marble, I find it fascinating.

I could have felt bada** if I knew before Elden Ring Rune Bears were Dragons

As mentioned before, I’m not the type to figure out lore by just looking at a blade of grass. But there are experts who can do it, call them Sherlock Holmes if you’d like. However, I’d like to call them,

, a YouTuber who can tell all about the Soulsborne stories, without breaking a sweat or making it feel like rocket science.

Vaati explained that Rune Bears were actually Dragons. Why come to that conclusion? Here’s the fun part. Dragons in Elden Ring are known to have gravel stone scales, which are the source of their immortality. Crazy, right? I thought so too.

Mortal Dragons do not have those stone scales, so that theory kind of falls apart. But no, whenever you do kill them, they drop stone-covered hearts that can be recovered, which beat on forever. Yes, I’m talking about Dragon Heart, which can be used at the Dragon Communion Altar.

If the player consumes enough Dragon Hearts, they slowly transform in dragons. The transformation can be observed if their eyes are seen closely. The yellow draconic eyes sell the story straight. One can transform into a dragon if enough hearts are devoured.

But what do all these have to do with Rune Bears? Everything, to be fair. Rune Bears have the same eyes. Additionally, they have tiny specks of stone skin on their body. Which implies they were slowly turning into dragons. Not convinced yet? Well, Rune Bears used to drop Dragon Hearts, by killing out-of-bounds bears during the Elden Ring Network Test version.

More fun facts to know about Dragons

Mortal Dragons and Greyoll are direct descendants of Ancient Dragons, the ones who have stone-scaled skins. The Ancient Dragons predate the Erd Tree itself. The future generation adapted to the Lands Between, as they had more affinity to natural elements. This allowed them to live longer and carry on.

The Ancient Dragons could also breed with humans to produce short-lived Draconians. The very race that you can pick from the preset classes in Elden Ring. Pretty neat way to tell that story.

Have you ever wondered why you do you devour Dragon Heart at the Dragon Communion Altar? It has been found out that hunters in the communion hunted dragons to consume their hearts to gain powers from them. A practice that can still be done in Elden Ring.

Alas, those hunters later turned into Magma Wyrms. If you did transform, you’re likely to become those pesky creatures. Ever though as a child, eating a seed would grow a tree inside you? Looks like those hunters didn’t think about that possibility.

Did you know Rune Bears were dragons, or are you as surprised as I am? Let us know in the comments below. Would love to learn more about the in-game lore.
