[b]Smite Evil (Su):[/b] Once per day, this creature can make a normal melee attack to deal +12 extra damage against an evil foe.

[b]Improved Grab (Ex):[/b] To use this ability, a dire 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.

[b]Celestial template:[/b] Applied to the base creature (see [url:https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/celestialCreature.htm]Celestial Creature[/url]). Animals and vermin become magical beasts; Intelligence is at least 3; darkvision 60 ft.; energy resistance, DR, and SR by Hit Dice; natural weapons count as magic for overcoming DR when the creature has DR.

[i]The omnivorous dire bear usually does not bother creatures that try to avoid it, but will aggressively defend a kill or other source of food.[/i]
