Camp followers

Camp followers are characters that travel with the player’s party and often remain at camp.

Pets

• Owlbear Cub can be encountered in a cave near the entrance of Moonhaven. The party members have to enter, meet the Owlbear's mother, and then leave without killing the cub. Later, he can be found at the Goblin Camp where the player character can agree to play Chicken Chase or just persuade the goblins to release the cub. It may take some long rests for the Owlbear Cub to arrive in the camp.
• Scratch can be encountered northeast of Moonhaven.
• Tara automatically joins the party at camp if Gale is played as Origin.
