The main attributes of the first generation of Ursa were strength and ferocity. It was carnivorous with an almost insatiable hunger, it had four clawed appendages, and was sightless. Lacking ocular vision it tracked humans through a sense of smell estimated to be more than a hundred times more acute than that of humans. |

β | In the second generation in an effort to refine their killing machine, the Skrel improved on their work, adjusting the skeleton to be a hollowed-out bone structure that would allow the Ursa to move more quickly and with less energy expenditure. Also, additional joints were added for the sake of flexibility, along with muscle. But they also removed one of the legs, letting the forelegs do most of the attacking while |

For the third generation the Skrel went back to the drawing board, reverting to the four-legged configuration, adding two armlike appendages and sharpening the Ursa's claws, wrapping the bony protuberances with densely packed keratin. They again upgraded the Ursa's musculature. More importantly, they gave the creature the ability to secrete and spew black, oily venom from glands in its mouth. This venom, when it makes direct contact with the skin, is capable of causing paralysis. |
