Druid companion list: 4th (−3)
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a black bear must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Companion note: A 1st-level druid’s companion is completely typical for its kind. As the druid advances, the companion gains bonus HD, natural armor, Str/Dex, tricks, and special abilities per the Druid animal companion table. Alternative-list animals use the level adjustment in parentheses when determining those powers.
The black bear is a forest-dwelling omnivore that usually is not dangerous unless an interloper threatens its cubs or food supply.
