While the '''Owlbear''' can not make [[Critical Hit|Critical Hits]] because of its recent injury, it is still a powerful and dangerous creature. Many of its abilities focus on knocking others [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]], such as Crushing Flight, allowing it to attack with [[Advantage]] on successive hits against its prone victim. When taken to half health, its rage ability will trigger, increasing its damage further with both increased [[Strength]] and [[Multiattack]]. It will also have the support of the [[Owlbear Cub]], though it is a weak and often ignorable combatant. It's best to ignore the cub if you plan to recruit it later on for your [[Campsite|Camp]], but it will attempt to flee if badly hurt. | While the '''Owlbear''' can not make [[Critical Hit|Critical Hits]] because of its recent injury, it is still a powerful and dangerous creature.
