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.

However, because of the Owlbear's injury, but it is ''not'' far easier to sneak up on it even though it has [[Disadvantage]] on [[Perception]]. A more direct approach can use [[Andrick]] and [[Brynna]] to help in the fight if convinced, who, acting as soft targets, can be useful distractions and support. Spells, items or weapon abilities that require a [[Dexterity]] [[Saving Throw]] like [[Grease]], [[Grease Bottle]] or [[Topple (Weapon Action)|Topple]] are quite effective in slowing it down. When it is enraged, it is best to finish the fight quickly before its multiattack shreds through the group.

Convincing the owlbear not to attack outright, as outlined below, is very helpful for pre-fight positioning and can let you spring an ambush from stealth.
