bruin
Fabled forest beast
A bruin is a bear, especially a brown bear.
The word is literary or folklorish, echoing the name given to the bear character in medieval European fables.
In American usage, bruin commonly appears as a team mascot name—most famously UCLA's Bruins: The Bruins take the ice tonight.
