I know the authors of savage species weren't that keen on animal classes, but ... here is my legendary bear class anyway 
I am assuming that this is an awakened legendary bear, but I didn't give it the additional hit dice or charisma.
Legendary Animal, Bear
BAB: as cleric
Hit Dice: d8 (one per level)
Saves: Fort/Ref high, Will low
Skill Points: 2+Int modifier, 4x at 1st level
Class Skills: Listen, Spot, Swim, Craft, Profession
(this is technically all the bear gets, but I would probably add wilderness lore, and perhaps another one)
Racial Traits: Str +6, Con +4, Wis +2, Size M, Speed 30, 2 Claws 1d4, 1 Bite 1d6
1st: Natural AC +2, Scent, 1 Feat
2nd: Con +2
3rd: Str +2, Low-light Vision, 1 Feat
4th: Dex +2, Natural AC +4
5th: Str +2, Speed 40, 2 Claws 1d6
6th: Con +2, Str +2, 1 Feat
7th: Str +2, Wis +2, Bite 2d6
8th: Con +2, Cha +2
9th: Str +2, Natural AC +6, 1 Feat
10th: Dex +2, Size L, 2 Claws 2d4
11th: Str +2, Improved Grab
12th: Con +2, Speed 50, 1 Feat
13th: Str +2, Natural AC +8
14th: Con +2
15th: Str +2, Bite 3d6, 1 Feat
16th: Wis +2, 2 Claws 2d6
17th: Str +2
18th: Natural AC +10, 1 Feat
19th: Str +2
20th: Bite 4d6
Compare the 20th level bear (first) to a 20th level fighter (second). I figured the bear would be underpowered, and it probably is (not being able to use magic and all) - but the gap is not as wide as I would have thought. However, with the relatively poor AC and fewer hit points, the bear is going to take a beating in combat.
20th bear: 20d8, BAB +15, F/R/W 12/12/6, Natural AC +10, Str +26, Dex +4, Con +14, Wis +4, Cha +2, 2 Claws 2d6, Bite 4d6, Size L, Improved Grab, Spd 50, 7 feats
20th Fighter: 20d10, BAB +20, F/R/W 12/6/6, Abilities +5, 18 feats
