| —Voice of the Forest to Ori in Baur's Reach |
Baur is a gigantic bear who blocks the entrance to Baur's Reach in Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
Description[]
Baur is depicted as a giant bear with brown fur covered in ice and snow. His eyes are glowing white.
As seen in Ori and the Will of the Wisps[]
When Ori attempts to obtain the Memory of the Forest, they find Baur in a deep slumber blocking the entrance to Baur's Reach. Using Kuro's Feather, Ori manages to wake the giant bear, granting Ori access to the Reach. Baur tells Ori that he had dreamt of their arrival, but that they are too late to do anything as the Decay had plunged the Reach into a perpetual winter, burying the spring blossoms containing the Memory of the Forest at the mountain's peak. He then goes back to sleep.
After obtaining the Memory of the Forest, Ori narrowly escapes the wrath of Shriek but ends up becoming buried in the snow of an oncoming avalanche. Waking alongside the Memory of the Forest, Baur manages to rescue Ori from the snow and thanks them for restoring spring to the Reach.
Baur proceeds to inform Ori that Shriek would not welcome the changing climate of the Reach, telling Ori about her tragic early life. Baur is uncertain whether or not Shriek would escape the darkness of her earlier days, but was otherwise optimistic that Ori's coming would bring about a new summer in Niwen.
Abilities[]
Baur appears to have precognition, the ability to perceive events throughout time while dreaming, such as Ori's arrival in the Reach, Shriek's past, and Ori's future. He is also quite physically robust, having blown Ori back with a sneeze alongside digging them out of a great deal of snow in the avalanche.
