About

As you walk down a darkened alley, you hear scratching sounds echoing against the walls. Then you see a large beast, unlike anything you’ve seen before.

It looks like a terrifying version of the owlbear. The fowlbear is just that, a dark version of its cousin.

Wild One. These monsters are wild and mostly hunt at night. Most of them run amok, but there are stories of some being controlled by strange wizards. A few citizens have even sighted fowlbears in other parts of the city at night.

Arcane Enemies. For some reason, they hate spellcasters and seem to be able to smell them. They will attack spellcasters on sight if they come into contact with them.
