Description

A monstrous cross between giant owl and bear, an owlbear’s reputation for ferocity and aggression makes it one of the most feared predators of the wild.

Lair and Lair Actions

When the Twisted Owlbear drops below 50 HP it begins to shake with rage, releasing a blood-curdling roar. 

This ends all active effects on the creature and gives it resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing damage (As per the barbarian Rage feature)

Additionally the Twisted Owlbear now gets two turns per round, instead of one, it's second turn occurring evenly between it's current turn and the end of the round.

It also gets the following additional actions:

Ground Tremble. The twisted owlbear stamps hard onto the ground, causing all creatures within 5ft of it to make a DC 15 Dexterity Saving throw or fall prone. The area within this radius is now considered difficult terrain.

Corrupted Feathers. The twisted owlbear shakes it's head rapidly, releasing a torrent of rough feathers. Each creature within 5ft to make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, becoming blinded on a failure. An affected creature must spend an action removing the feathers from their eyes to end the condition.

Launching Bite. If the twisted owlbear makes a successful beak attack, it may forego it's remaining claw attacks and attempt to throw the creature up to 20ft in any direction. The creature must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw to prevent this movement. If the creature is thrown straight up, they would suffer the usual 20ft fall damage of 2d6
