San d'ma Shadar as "Epic Battle Bears"
"Every year around Shaoman, the bears are forced to shed their human forms and become something... more. This year, they are Epic War Bears with a mission to take over the Tower! However, the bears are known for being notoriously lazy, and they don't really want to take over the Tower if they don't absolutely have to, so they're taking bribes from the people of Tar Valon, hoping they'll be distracted long enough that they won't have to destroy the Tower. You must help them by giving them food, women, or anything else that you think would appease them!" (from the description on the SDS Event Themes page)
