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.

After being released and after several rests, the cub will arrive at the Campsite and can be recruited. It will appear twice. The first time, it can be fed, but will get scared by another member of the camp, and run off. The second time (which may be some rests later), it will show up injured. When healed, it will become friendly. At some point after this, a rest will be interrupted by a noise. If the player has the ability to speak with animals, 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
