Synopsis: A young Arak is dared by a friend to claim the paw of Yaogah, the great northwind bear, to prove that he really is He-No's son. A bold, but foolish, Arak angrily accepts the challenge and makes his way to the bear's cave. He is immediately put in mortal danger from the terrible creature. But, Yaogah recognizes Arak's divine lineage and declares that Arak must learn that constantly trying to prove one's courage is the act of one consumed by self-doubt. When Arak returns to his village, he refrains from boasting of his experience, and admits he failed in his quest.
