What if the bear is Arthur? Rain in the initial reactions feedback for Dreamcatcher mentions the meaning behind Arthur’s name is Bear – (a bit of Googling found: the name Arthur (Artorius) could be derived from the Celtic elements “artos” = bear combined with “viros” = man and “orrigos” = king). Which would make King Arthur the bear man king, and if you link it to Brave it could possibly make him Mor’du and Camelot the broken kingdom would be the kingdom that fell to ruins because Mor’du’s selfishness/greediness
Slept on this overnight, and timeline-wise it would work if Mor’du the Bear was Arthur’s father (King Uther), who caused the kingdom to be broken. In Arthurian Legend, Arthur was taken by Merlin in secret to be raised by Sir Ector (Kay’s father) and never knew he was royal. Merlin had placed his hopes in Arthur, but in OUAT, it seems Arthur is following in his father’s footsteps in his myopic obsession. Nevertheless, Arthur being the son of Uther, inherited the bear transformation ability. Too out there????
