The Lazer Bear is a cheat unit available in Age of Mythology. It can be spawned from the Town Center with the cheat O CANADA. It hovers when moving, has a high amount of hit points, and attacks with laser beams and Monkeys. It also regenerates 3.0 HP per second.

Strategy

The Lazer Bear is arguably the most powerful cheat unit available in Age of Mythology. With its breakneck speed and enormous line of sight, it can scout the entire map within seconds, providing valuable information to the player. It is also the best unit for hit and runs. It can kill almost any unit it encounters in one hit thanks to its high attack and can quickly escape (if it actually needed to) thanks to its speed. But thanks to its high HP, ability to regenerate and near impenetrable armor, it is practically invincible anyway. The closest thing the Lazer Bear has to a weakness is that it is ineffective against buildings since it purely deals pierce damage.

In-Game Information

“	Scientific name -- Ursus magnificus cotnami Size -- 1400 lbs. Utility belt adds an additional 40 lbs. Monkeys are about 12 lbs. each. Diet -- mostly in the liquid form From the dark reaches of Canada comes a superhero dedicated to truth, justice and liquid refreshment. Lazar bear is armed with his deadly lazar (TM) vision and a teleportation belt. He also packs a nasty punch. He is never far from his hordes of wicked monkeys. Lazar Bear has been known to occasionally make demands of the world goverments under threat of painful retribution, but most of the time he's a pretty good guy. Rumors that his upgrade changes his art to a United States cape are groundless...at least until the Xpack.	”

Trivia

• In Tale of the Dragon there exists an unfinished unit hidden in the game called "Lazer Panda", an intended "successor" to the Lazer Bear, though apart from the name, and a separate prototype definition, it is unchanged from the normal Lazer Bear.
• An animal can be found in the Scenario Editor with the name Giant Duck-Billed Platypus which has the model of a Lazer Bear, but does not fight back when attacked.
