While highly territorial, it's recent injury from the [[Cult of the Absolute]] has left it severally weakened. | ||

While the '''Owllbear''' can not make [[Critical Hit|Critical Hits]] because of its recent injury, it is still a powerful and dangerous creature. Many of its abilities focus on knocking other [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]], such as with Crushing Flight, allowing it to ensure successful hits. When taken to half health, its rage ability will trigger, increasing its damage further with both it's increased [[Strength]] and [[Multiattack]]. It will also have the support of the [[Owlbear Cub]], though it is best to ignore it if you plan to recruit it later on for your [[Campsite|Camp]]. | |||
However, because of the injury it has, it is far easier to sneak up on the creature since it has [[Disadvantage]] on [[Perception]]. If trying a more direct approach, you can use [[Andrick]] and [[Brynna]] to help in the fight, who while soft targets to the beast can be useful distractions along with offer useful support. Also using spells, items or weapon abilities that require a [[Dexterity]] [[Saving Throw]] like [[Grease]], [[Grease Bottle]] or [[Topple (Weapon Action)|Topple]] are quite effective in slowing down the creature. When it is enraged, it is best to finish the fight quickly before it's multiattack shreds through the group. | |||
