Owlbear Cub is a Beast[note 1] and a potential Camp Follower encountered in the Owlbear Nest with its mother during Act One.

Recruiting as a camp follower

The Owlbear Cub can be recruited as a pet Camp Follower and will remain in the Campsite after being recruited.

First, the mother Owlbear must be encountered in the Owlbear Nest in the Forest, near the Blighted Village. Regardless of whether the Owlbear survives the encounter, after resting the Owlbear Cub can be found in the Goblin Camp where it can be freed by playing Chicken Chase or by persuading the goblins. The Cub does not seem to appear in the Goblin Camp if you've killed Devout Mezzka before you rest or if you have poisoned the Goblin Camp through the Booze Tub.

As long as the cub is spared and not stuck in the goblin camp (i.e. the player freed it or cleared the camp before it was captured), the cub will appear at the Campsite one evening. It can be fed, but will get scared by another member of the camp, and run off. It will reappear after another long rest, injured. If healed, it will become friendly and will stay at camp for good. At some point after this, a rest will be interrupted by a noise. If Speak with Animals is active, it will be revealed that the cub had a nightmare, and Scratch is trying to calm him down. The cub will also remark that Scratch reminds him of his bigger brother. If asked about that, the cub will say that he used to have an older brother, but their mother ate him.

Should the player have already killed the entire Goblin Camp before encountering the Owlbear, the Owlbear Mother will be killed by a Goblin hunting party and the Cub will show up at your camp after a couple of long rests.

If the player chooses to call Lump the Enlightened to participate in combat with the Goblin Camp exterior when the cub is present, the Owlbear Cub will become hostile to the three Ogres and by extension the player party. If this happens, you will be locked out of having him in your party, as even if you knock him out using nonlethal attacks, he will still disappear after a long rest.

The final cut-off point for recruiting the Owlbear Cub is travelling to Baldurs Gate at the end of Act 2.

Act Three

If the Owlbear Cub is a camp follower and Dammon survived into the game's finale, the tiefling blacksmith will transform the cub into a battle-ready beast. He feeds the cub potions to accelerate his growth and outfits him with steel armour. His display name changes to Armoured Owlbear. The party can summon the owlbear to assist in the final battle using Gather Your Allies Gather Your Allies.
