Trivia[]

Sibear is most likely a corruption of Siberia, a region in Russia known for its low temperatures, si and bears.
Sibear was the first melee weapon to deal pure Cold Damage Cold damage.
It is also the first hammer whose components derive from another hammer to build.
The ice spikes on the Sibear's head will temporarily grow when performing a charge attack or a jump attack from a significant height.

Bugs[]

Adding a combined element (that leaves the innate cold damage) may remove the shimmering cold effect on the coils, despite there being Cold Damage Cold damage on the weapon. This bug is inconsistent and may not appear for some people. ^{Video Proof}
