Blood Heat

"Owlbears are some of the most ferocious creatures ever seen in the Forgotten Realms. Anything or anyone unlucky to come across them is liable to be torn apart by these territorial, oversized and aggressively temperamental monstrosities. Avoid at all costs. An area frequented by Owlbear activity should be evacuated of all civilians until hunters can be summoned who are strong, brave, and foolish enough to attempt to take on such a beast. Equal efforts should also be attempted to placate or discover the reasoning behind any rampages; most often they are due to infringement on the Owlbear's claimed territory.

Further information or study done of this species, or their lesser known and much larger offshoot, known as Royal Owlbears, is limited due to the high mortality rate of researchers, scholars and wilderness enthusiasts, caused by these creatures in their natural habitat.

Under no circumstances should any underqualified person approach or intentionally draw near an Owlbear, lest they rouse their wrath. Their species possesses long memories and have been known to carry grudges, often enacting them with brutal consequences and massive collateral damage. They are most dangerous during the time of Blood Heat, when these already violent and bloodthirsty animals reach new heights of savagery. Caution is strongly advised."
