Description
In a similar fashion to the standard owlbear, a Northern Owlbear mixes the qualities of a polar bear and snow owl. It tends to be substantially larger than the southern climate owlbear. On rare occasions a northern owlbear is hatched with large feathered wings. A northern owlbear fights much like a bear but is more aggressive. Also like a normal bear, a northern owlbear must roll a 20 on a d20 for a claw attack in order to deal 2d8 points of hug damage. As a polar climate inhabitant it is essentially immune to cold environmental effects and even extreme or magical cold causes half-damage. If a save is involved with such a cold-based effect, it receives a +4 bonus.
