Previous bugs[]
- Prior to Patch 4.0.0.10833 (LoE patch) Bear Trap would trigger and do nothing if your board was full.[2][3]
Lore[]
Bear Trap's comical design (see Trivia) is distinctly Hearthstone. However, Bear Trap was first a card in the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, albeit with a far more conventional effect.
Trivia[]
- Bear Trap's design is an intentional inversion of expectations. A real life bear trap is a powerful, sharpened metal contraption designed to trap bears. However, Bear Trap is instead a trap which sets a Bear upon the person who triggers it. Senior Producer Yong Woo described the card's concept: "Sometimes you trap the bear. Sometimes the bear traps you."[4]
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "War of the Elements" series, for the card Noxious Trap.
