Owlbear Cub: Difference between revisions

{{DiQ|Like it here. Warm fire. Scratch reminds me of big brother.|Owlbear Cub| chatting in camp}}

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

The cub quickly acclimates to camp life. At some point after recruitment, a long 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 it of his older brother. If asked about that, the cub will say that he used to have an older brother, but their mother ate him.

If the cub is a camp follower and [[Dammon]] survived till the game's finale, then the latter will transform the cub into a battle-ready beast before the group arrives in the [[Upper City]]. Dammon feeds the cub potions to accelerate his growth and outfits him with steel armour, and the cub's display name changes to '''Armoured Owlbear'''. The party can summon the owlbear to assist in the final battle using {{SAI|Gather Your Allies (Class Action)|Gather Your Allies}}, though he is one of two major characters who can permanently die in this fight and be removed from the [[Epilogue]], the other being [[Zevlor]].

If the cub survived the final battle, he will appear at [[Withers]]' Reunion Party still as the Armoured Owlbear. The player character can pet him, tell him it's good to see him (to which he becomes flustered), and ask what he's up to (though his answer is mistaken for dancing). If the player character knows {{SAI|Speak with Animals|Speak with Animals}}, the cub reveals that he was never invited but instead followed the player character's pleasant smell to join the gathering. Speak with Animals casters can also comment on the cub being so much larger than his "big brother" Scratch and ask again what he's been up to, to which he shares that he made new cat, turtle, and kraken friends but attacked the kraken after the latter ate the cat. The player then has the opportunity to let a former party member adopt the cub: either [[Halsin]], [[Shadowheart]] (if she turned away from [[Shar]]), or the player character themselves (if they ''only'' romanced Halsin and/or Shadowheart in Act Three and went home with one of them). Regardless of who adopts him, the cub says he likes the player's choice and will go to them after the party.
