I wish to know two things. When a Celestial Brown Bear is summoned :

- Claws and bite are aligned "good" because of the fact that it's a celestial creature ?

No. If a Celestial creature has high enough Hit Dice to get Damage Reduction, then it's attacks are considered magical for the purposes of bypassing DR. Not Good.

Thanks a lot,

Correct. There are two versions of "Large" creatures, "Tall" (10 ft. square and 10 ft. reach) and "Long" (10 ft. square and 5 ft. reach). The bear falls into the latter category.

This information is from the d20srd. The Bestiary, released in September, may change this information.

I believe that if the base creature has 5+ HD when the celestial template is applied it would get DR 5/good which would allow its natural attacks to work on creatures with DR/evil. Celestial creatures with less then 5 HD do not have DR so their natural attacks would not bypass DR/evil
