Cyrodiil: Who is Lin the Bear?

In Cyrodiil I came upon a bear named Lin that appeared to be hostile, growling at me, but did not attack me. I could not attack it either.

I googled the bear but couldn't find anything about it. I can post a screenshot if nobody has an answer.

    I believe his growls are just him emphatically warning you that only you can prevent forest fires.

    Or perhaps he was only trying to distract you as his companion stole your picinic basket.

    The bear is part of the Vlastarus town quests. She's a problem and needs to be killed.

    I thought you meant the one in the cave up north slightly towards the AD gates from the center of the map that's a "boss" mob. There's a couple random non-quest bosses here and there.

    The bear is there to warn of picnic basket fires.

    The bear is not near Vlast... she's between Roe and Alessia by the waterfall.

    I remember one of my guild members talking a long while back about how a cancer patient was dying and her favorite game was ESO or Skyrim so ZOS or Bethesda took her favorite animal and named the bear after her. The group talked about it for a while after and we knew if we found a bear in Cyrodiil that had a name we wouldn't attack it. I'm not sure if what he telling was a true or not but this reminded me of that so it maybe the same bear he was talking about. With what you just said and his story I guess what he was talking about was true and also good to know ZOS made it so that the bear could not be attacked.

    Now can someone tag a DEV to get the full info and to proof read this. I don't like giving out wrong info.
