>>56694908canonically owlbears are not creatures theyre monstrosities
they made some modifications in modern 5e that allowed druids to wild shape into owlbears which is dumb because theyre not technically beasts or animals and even though the mechanical operation of the shapeshift is very cool in bg3 its not really something in my mind that you should be able to shapeshift into because its a monster and not an animal or beast
but yes they are very cute
