Riz

Riz is a large brown bear at Cherryton Academy, a member of the drama club, and the main antagonist in the Murder Incident Solution arc of Beastars. He struggles with guilt after unintentionally eating his friend Tem due to his predator instincts. Riz's brutality increases as the story progresses, and he is willing to kill to keep his secret. He is one of the strongest carnivores due to being a bear. Riz takes government-mandated pills to decrease his physical strength, which causes severe headaches. He enjoys cooking, eats honey to alleviate headaches, and loses his sense of taste after eating Tem.
