Notes

• The owlbear gains 3  Rage Charges for  Enrage.^{[See: Bugs]}
• The owlbear uses  Crushing Flight to jump by default, including in passive pathing (i.e., when following the main character). This can cause unexpected damage to nearby NPCs, turning them hostile. Thus, it is advised to turn back into Druid form in towns to prevent accidentally provoking the entire populace.
• Crushing Flight can be used deal large amounts of damage by crushing targets from great heights whilst  Enlarged, see Owlbear from the top ropes tactic for an in-depth explanation.

Bugs

• The owlbear loses all  Rage Charges if the player character transforms back to normal for a cutscene or conversation.
