A baby owlbear, Y, is a monster that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. It is a juvenile owlbear that has weaker claw and bite attacks than its adult form, and also lacks the adult owlbear's powerful holding attack.

Generation

Randomly generated baby owlbears are always hostile. Baby owlbears can hatch from owlbear eggs, and can grow up into owlbears.

The owlbear nest is a special room that contains several owlbear eggs and sleeping baby owlbears, along with an adult owlbear.

Strategy

While not as vicious and threatening as an adult owlbear, baby owlbears are faster and can still deal significant damage to early characters, and are an even greater cause for concern in groups.

Encyclopedia entry

Owlbears are probably the crossbreed creation of a demented
wizard; given the lethal nature of this creation, it is quite
likely the wizard who created them is no longer alive. As
the name might already suggest, owlbears are a cross between
a giant owl and a bear. They are covered with fur and
feathers.
