Owlbear

Basic Information

Anatomy

Owlbears are monstrous beasts with the bodies of bears covered in thick fur and feathers. Their heads were like those of owls, but with a serrated beak.

Ecology and Habitats

These creatures were incredibly aggressive, going so far as to slay any living creature they saw. This territorial attitude caused many folks who lived with nature to purposefully hunt owlbears before they had a chance to destroy the local wildlife.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Owlbears hunt from around sunset to sunrise. They hooted or screeched to declare their territory and to flush prey into their hunting grounds. Owlbears also screeched as a way to attract a mate. When an owlbear successfully cought its prey, it tended to partially consume part of it on the spot, before dragging the rest back to its lair to be stored. The scent of flesh that emanated from an owlbear's lair often attracted creatures and therefore, more prey
