Awesome. Strangely enough, when ever I think of ideas, some one always thinks of similar things! But no, seriously, good job!

What would be the purpose of such large canines if the bear is not a carnivore? Are they for display/fighting?

Yep, they are mostly used in fights with conspecifics. Males have bigger tusks than females

And what would be the ancestor of this bear?

I havenβt really figured out from what kind of bear it evolved

I was going to say that the spectacled bear is fully herbivorous... but it is very rare and limited to South America. I think the black bear would be an ideal candidate because it already has a largely vegetation-based diet and is also quite common. And it would be conceivable for it to meander it's way across to Europe and Asia.

Yeah, I also considered the black bear to be the ancestor of them

Old comment, but I feel like American black bears have an enormous amount of evolutionary potential compared to most other large North American animals. I could easily see them radiating into tons of niches if the situation was right.

Oh yes, definitely!
Back when my future biology project still consisted of multiple epochs, there were loads of black bear descendants... They are all extinct in the epoch in which terra mirus is set though.
I think I'll upload some pictures of tgem anyways though
