Personality
It is a calm and unpretentious brown bear. He is very loved and respected, but like most members of the theater club, he has a hidden side. Unwittingly, he killed Tem, his close friend, when he refused to take the government-mandated strength reduction medication.

The fact that he accidentally killed Tem is made tragic by the fact that all bears are forced to take medications that limit their strength when they grow beyond 200 cm in height. These come with terrible side effects. Tem's friendship made Riz think he could manage without his pills ... Riz remembers that Tem accepted him exactly as he was and remembers them hugging each other, before his memory jumps up after having eaten Tem. However, from the first scene of the manga, we know that Tem died cursing his killer. Later, Riz admits that he was so happy that Tem saw through his exterior facade the "monster" that was inside, that he felt so much affection for Tem for seeing his true self that he altered his memories to make them happier, but it seems that the event has given him a taste for killing. It has only accelerated in recent chapters, to the point that he now sincerely believes that Tem - he wanted to be devoured and that eating Legosi will make him his "best friend".

He has incredible strength this even when compared to other carnivores and has to regularly take force-limiting medications to make sure he keeps his strength under control. stop taking them in preparation for his fight with Legosi.
