Owlbear
Creature 4 — animal
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
CrasherAnvilLANDanimal
With the body of a powerful brown bear and the keen senses of an owl, the owlbear is a dangerous territorial predator, fearlessly attacking any creature that strays into its domain. Those who run afoul of an owlbear hear its terrifying screech only seconds before the massive creature is upon them, ripping them apart with deadly talons and a powerful beak. Although their origin is lost to time, owlbears are assumed to be the result of a magical experiment to make a more cunning predator. Accordi

Grab —
WORKS WELL WITH
SnareLANDA controller that restrains a Grabbed target compounds the action economy loss from the initial pin.
SniperLANDA ranged attacker benefits when the screeching charge forces the party to break formation, opening lines of sight.
FlankerLANDA mobile skirmisher slips past a target fixated on defending against this brute's Grab.
PUNISHES
✖ low Will✖ clumping✖ ranged reliance
