Zombie Owlbear

Creature 3 — mindless, undead, unholy, zombie

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

AnvilLANDundead

Zombie owlbears combine an owlbear's ferocity with mindless undead hatred. Once it draws near, it often stands up, unleashing a guttural, wet roar, before charging into combat without thought of self-preservation. Simple to create and varied in purpose, these shambling undead are often used for their strength and endless stamina to conduct boring, repetitive tasks.

Abilities

Slow — A zombie owlbear is permanently Slowed 1 and can't use reactions.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Ground Slam (attack) —
Horrifying Screech (auditory, emotion, fear, mental) — The zombie owlbear unleashes a broken, snarling screech that unnerves those who hear it. Each creature in a 60-foot emanation must attempt a DC 19 Will save. Regardless of the result, creatures are temporarily immune for 1 minute.
