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.

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. | ||

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 [[Ogre (creature)|Ogres]] and by extension the player party.

* In the fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons, an Owlbear is classed as a [[Monstrosity]], not a [[Beast]]. This is in line with its classification in second edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, where druids could use Wild Empathy and other animal-focused abilities on them. | * In the fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons, an Owlbear is classed as a [[Monstrosity]], not a [[Beast]].
