Could you elaborate for Bears? Hawks are OK as they can be used to attack enemy rear.
They're 2.5 E apiece, have high hit points, good MR and are ethereal. Even with no support they can be pretty effective blockers (depending on what you're facing obviously), slap on wooden warriors (or better stuff once your magic ramps up) and it takes quite awhile to chew through the buggers while the enemy mages keep targeting them because of their hps. They're not gonna be winning battles for you singlehandedly, but they can do a pretty good job of taking the heat off of whatever you have that will.
