Please describe your suggested enhancement:
Please provide "bear" and its forms as charge.

Argent, a bear rampant sable, muzzled or.
Gules, on a bend or a bear passant sable.
Per chevron sable and argent three sea-bears counterchanged.

Can you provide a link to a picture of a shield showing your enhancement
attached

Please provide any other information that you can
The "bear" occurs frequent in German arms, and in some instances in Scottish 
arms, but comparatively rare in English arms, though not unfrequent as a crest, 
and sometimes the head or jambs are chosen for the latter apart from the body. 
In one coat of arms sea-bears are named: it is not clear what is meant, 
possibly seals, but more probably polar-bears (as illustrated.)
