A large aggressive beast-like creature found on the cliffs of Labion, the Bearion enjoys preying on large mammals and whatever else may come its way in the Labion highlands. It has long arms and an excellent grip, both with its claws and teeth.
They are famously appear in a series of video arcade games, often as nemesis of Marioids.
A particularly large species of Kongoid is native to Labion.
Sludge Vohaul kept a Kongoid in his menagerie on board his Asteroid of Doom.
Behind the scenes[]
This creature is known as "Kong" or "Kongoids" in the Space Quest companion. Its simply known as the "beast" or the "fierce beast" in SQ2 hintbook. It just described as 'mammoth member of the local fauna' in SQ2.
Game Involvement[]
During Space Quest 2, Roger Wilco encountered one of these creatures while trying to reach a tunnel on a ledge across from where said Bearion was standing. Climbing down a vine, Roger put himself at great risk, by swinging on the vine within inches of the Bearion in order to get enough momentum to jump to the ledge. Doubtless, the Bearion in question hoped desperately that Roger would swing just a few inches too close.
