A sabre bear (tlhIngan Hol: mIl'oD) was a type of animal lifeform native to Qo'noS. Once found in many of the planet's mountain ranges, overhunting has decimated the population, and now they are found almost exclusively on Kang's Summit, where only the greatest warriors are permitted the privilege of hunting them. (Decipher module: Creatures)
In 2371, Martok was captured by the Dominion when he was hunting sabre bear on Kang's Summit. (DS9 episode: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
To compare a person to a sabre bear is to infer a fierce, badger-like quality. (TLE novel: Excelsior: Forged in Fire)
