How do you actually do this? I know how to get a horse character, but bears are new to me.
It's a random event if you have Absurd Events on. More likely to happen if you're Lunatic or Paranoid, less likely if you're Trusting. You can't be at war.
I'm sure there are actually funny absurd events, but this vindicates my decision to always disable them.
To be honest, not really. Here's a complete list:
Horse M.D. court physician
Glitterhoof
Mittens the Spymaster (cat)
Sex Crusader Kings (you kill the king of the forest and celebrate with one or two women - gives a random trait from among a few selections or kills you)
Marco Polo (a window with "Marco" appears, the option to close it says "Polo," gives 50 Prestige - no connection to the actual Marco Polo)
Bear events
In the game files Absurd Events are referred to as "silly_events", which is pretty apt if you ask me.
