What follows is what i sent to my group via email, and something i cooked up at 5 am, yes they exist on d20pfsrd, but i didn't like them very much, so let me know what you think of these, and any suggestions are really appreciated!!

There are both the black bear and the polar bear on d20pfsrd.com website, but they sort of suck, especially the polar bear... not because they are worse (the black bear is much better), but because they are just like the other bears, and don't suggest any realism to their stats compared to the real life equivalents/game differentiation. My stat blocks follow... The black bear is weaker, as 3.5, and the polar bear is a bit stronger than the grizzly bear, more hps, better attack, and hes white... !(I kid, I kid) But really, polar bear has a strong bite attack with grab linked to it instead of claws, as it most often hunts for seals and such under water. Still iffy on the improved grab, though didn't want to give him improved nat attack claw, as that would probably be too powerful. If you have thoughts, let me know.
