Product Information

A creature called a "nightripper" appears in Sagard the Barbarian #2: The Green Hydra game book by Gary Gygax.

The actual in-game origin of the owlbear has never been definitively revealed, but the various Monster Manual editions indicate that it is probably the product of a wizard's experiments. Within the franchise's mythology, the lich Thessalar claims to have created them, but his insanity and egomania put the accuracy of this claim in doubt.

Florio, Vincent, Bryan Manahan, Mike Stewart and Michael Thomas. Mazes & Perisl (Wild Games Productions, 2012) An enemy named "owl bear" appears early into the Master System game Phantasy Star. It resembles an eyeball with bat wings, however, and is called "devil bat" in the original Japanese version. [90] Within the Dungeons & Dragons system and in other role-playing games, the owlbear usually serves as a "monster". Within the context of RPGs, "monster" is a generic term to describe potentially hostile beings and obstacles for the players to overcome. [9] This role is also the one the owlbear was originally designed for.

[28] Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 [ edit ]In this case, with the Owlbear miniature, there is no problem with the plastic whatsoever. It’s a lovely chunky sculpt – no flexing, he holds his pose perfectly. And what a pose! It’s a gorgeous model, and an iconic D&D monster. I was incredibly excited to get some paint on one, and the deep sculpted detail made doing that easy and a complete joy. It really lends itself to the newer paint types (Contrast and Speed Paints), or more conventional washes over base coats, as the deep recesses allow the paint to really flow away from the raised areas. Some progressively lighter drybrushing over that really makes the fur and feathers pop. Owlbears appear as mobs in the MMORPG EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin in nineteen variants. [87] They are also featured in its sequel EverQuest II. Here, variants include the ash owlbear, cinder, pawcrusher and foulfeather as well as female and elder owlbears. [88] Varney, Allen.
