Research Lore. As an action you can reference the Barzanthim's Bestiary whenever you make an Intelligence (Nature, Arcana, or Religion depending on the creature types listed in this book) check to recall information about some aspect of a creature, such as lore or weaknesses. When you do so, use your proficiency bonus on that check. If you are already proficient in these checks, this gives you an additional +2
If you roll DC 20 or higher while gaining knowledge on creatures using Research Lore, you gain advantage on animal handling checks if made within 10 mins of reading the book.
A creature attuned to the book must spend 40 hours reading and studying it to digest its contents and reap its benefits.
