'''Owlbear Cub''' is a [[Beast]]{{note|In the fifth edition of ''Dungeons and Dragons'', an owlbear is classed as a [[Monstrosity]], not a [[Beast]]. This is in line with its classification in second edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, where druids could use Wild Empathy and other animal-focused abilities on them.}} and a potential [[Camp Follower]] encountered in the [[Owlbear Nest]] with its mother during [[Act One]]. | |||

Regardless of whether the | First, the mother [[Owlbear]] must be encountered in the [[Owlbear Nest]] in the [[Forest]], near the [[Blighted Village]]. Regardless of whether the Owlbear survives the encounter, after resting the Owlbear Cub can be found in the [[Goblin Camp]] where it can be freed by playing [[Krolla#Act_One|Chicken Chase]] or by persuading the goblins. The Cub does not seem to appear in the Goblin Camp if you've killed [[Devout Mezzka]] before you rest or if you have poisoned the Goblin Camp through the [[Goblin Camp#Booze Tub|Booze Tub]]. | ||
As long as the cub is spared and not stuck in the goblin camp (i.e. the player freed it or cleared the camp before it was captured), the cub will appear at the Campsite one evening. It can be fed, but will get scared by another member of the camp, and run off. It will reappear after another long rest, injured. If healed, it will become friendly and will stay at camp for good. | |||

If this happens, you will be locked out of having him in your party, as even if you knock him out using nonlethal attacks, he will still disappear after a long rest. This is also true if you recruit Brynna and Andrick for the fight with the owlbear as they will make the cub hostile to you even after its mothers death. | ||

{{ | The cub quickly acclimates to camp life. At some point after recruitment, a long rest will be interrupted by a noise. If [[Speak with Animals]] is active, it will be revealed that the cub had a nightmare, and [[Scratch]] is trying to calm him down. The cub will also remark that Scratch reminds him of their bigger brother. If asked about that, the cub will say that he used to have an older brother, but their mother ate him. | ||

{{SpoilerBox|If the [[Owlbear Cub]] is a camp follower and [[Dammon]] survived into the game's finale, the tiefling blacksmith will transform the cub into a battle-ready beast. He feeds the cub potions to accelerate his growth and outfits them with steel armour. The cub's display name changes to '''Armoured Owlbear'''. The party can summon the owlbear to assist in the final battle using {{SAI|Gather Your Allies (Class Action)|Gather Your Allies}}.|act=3}} | |||
