Description

An Owlbearlin is a humanoid with the head of an owl and a hairy, bear-like body and claws. It stands about 6 feet tall. Some wear leather armor that they make from deerskin.

It lives in tribes in the deep woods, and will try to drive off travelers. Occasionally it will raid outlying farms to steal cattle for food or farm tools for weapons. Its villages are comprised of rough huts with large nests built inside. Some tribes will work for evil wizards or Clerics in exchange for metal weapons or healing potions.

In combat, it can screech at an opponent when it attacks. The opponent must make a saving throw or suffers a -2 to hit penalty for their next attack. This effect only lasts one round, but an owlbearlin may screech each round as a free action. If it is disarmed, it may attack with its claws.
