Legendary Creature — Bear

Rulings (2)
- For Ayula's second mode, if either target isn't a creature or is otherwise an illegal target as the ability resolves, no creature will deal or be dealt damage.
- Either of Ayula's modes can target any Bear you control, not just the Bear that entered the battlefield. Ayula can even be the target of its own ability.
