Owlbear

Sometimes you just need some monsters for monster hunters to hunt. Enter the classic Owlbear. It's a large CR 3 monstrosity whose purpose in life is to provide filler encounters on the way from place to place.

This is a Reaper Bones owlbear from the Bones 4 Kickstarter. I can't seem to find it available anymore, as Reaper has already replaced it with a Reaper Bones Black version that's significantly different. Edit: They now appear to be selling it as "Bones: Lowland Owlbear" (January 2021).

In any case, this was a quick project on a whim, took less than a day despite its size. The fur and spikes allowed for fast and effective drybrushing across most of its surface. It won't win awards, but some day it'll be a fun 45 minutes to an hour for a scrappy team of adventurers.

To give a sense of the scale, I've thrown together the following meme-tastic picture showing him next to the pike-wielding mercenary as they prepare to rumble.
