Walking past the Strange Ox will prompt a DC 10 [[Insight]] check to notice it's oddity. A character who passes the check can talk to the Strange Ox and make a DC 10 [[Arcana]] check to investigate further. Passing this check confirms the creature isn't what it appears to be.

Walking towards the Strange Ox will prompt a DC 10 [[Insight]] check whether you've seen it before, passing this check is not necessary to talk to the Strange Ox. With [[Speak with Animals]] you continue the conversation you started in the [[Druid Grove]]. Regardless of what option you choose, you will need to pass either a DC 14 [[Persuasion]], [[Perception]] or [[Nature]] check to continue.

Pushing it further results in the Ox threatening you. You can choose to either end it here, or continue questioning him. Questioning him further will result in the Ox turning hostile, deforming into a cyan version of an [[Ochre Jelly]] and entering combat with your party. Before doing so he tells the player he was only looking for a simple life of hay and a clean stable to live in.

== Chapter Three ==
If you didn't kill the strange ox during [[Chapter Two]], then you can find him again at the beginning of [[Chapter Three]] in [[Rivington]] just west of the requisitioned barn. Approaching him will again trigger a DC10 [[Insight]] check to confirm his likeness. This time, the Ox is glad to see you. He was worried about your mental health since your last encounter with him, but perhaps he's just faking it because he needs something from you.

Just like in [[Chapter Two]], you can question the Ox about his true nature and just like the last time, this will trigger him to become hostile and deform into his natural shape. Any other conversation path will lead to you obtaining the quest [[Help the Devilish Ox]]. If you decide to actually help the Ox, you can pick him up in the stable that you found him in. The moment you enter the [[Lower City]] with him inside your inventory the quest end and he disappears, leaving behind a [[Slightly Slimy Note]].
