Monster Monday: Owlbears

[@lvd8122]

I am so in love with owlbears that I reworked the entire race. Now they telepathically communicate with ancient dragons, have both a snout and a beak and are way stronger then normal owlbears. They were created to keep intelligent magic wielding species away from certain areas, so they are realy hard to fight:D

[@gusevgp1417]

In the D&D campaign I play in, my number one goal is to find and adopt an owlbear as a pet, raise to trust me and be my loyal pet, then when it grows to a big enough size... Ride it into war along side my team, the best power couple of 2019!!!!

[@J.B.90]

Good video. One minor gripe. Owls aren't completely nocturnal. Almost half of known Owl species are active during daylight hours. Keep up the good work.

[@fjLKA]

I like to think that Owlbears are the ancestral guardians of ancient cultures who are closer to nature. Y'know, celts and native americans (like totem pole animals brought to life). They make their lairs around ancient burial mounds and standing stones. Maybe their host culture was destroyed by "civilization" and they have since gone mad, taking vengeance on the descendants of those who wronged their people.

That's a great idea, Sean! I may have to pinch that one for a campaign one day! Cheers for watching!

Beautiful drawing and thanks for the info, ill share this vid with my players as soon as they encountered there first owlbear :)

[@ArcaneForge]

Thanks so much, Strings! I’ve got loads more videos like this planned for January, so I hope you’ll stick around for more!

[@johngleeman8347]

Barn owls are such amazing creatures. That is a splendid owlbear Sir.

[@benhramiak8781]

I'm playing a warlock currently. I got my bound weapon and we were camping. We got attacked and one enemy was an owl bear. I ran up and tried to attack with the sword. 7 dmg, not that much compared to its overall health. I got knocked down and reduced to 0 hp in two hits. Good times.

“It’s not a French person saying Albert.” Well that’s going to live in my head forever now. 😂

[@GreenLanternCorps2814]

I really wish those toys still existed! This is a great episode, and I love your owlbear art.

[@hagstik]

I actually in d&d 3.5 have an owl bear companion who is half polar bear half barred owl

[@ArcaneForge]

That's so cool! What was their name? Cheers for watching!

[@hagstik]

Arcane Forge your welcome and my characters name is Darth Revan so I named her Darth Malak the silver

[@hashiramasenju3246]

I watched a few of your videos before deciding if the sub was worth it. Ive been drawn in by too many channels that end up being effortless "i do top tens and copy everything from the internet" The effort you put in shows. Youve got my sub. Hoping to watch this channel grow alongside you, keep it up :)

[@ArcaneForge]

Hey, Hashirama. Thanks so much! I do end up making a lot of top 5's. People seem to enjoy them in far greater numbers than the rest of my content, but my passion, is really deeply entrenched in the Monster Monday stuff, so as long as I get one of those a week, then I'm a happy creator. Not that the top 5's aren't fun, but I get what you mean. Thanks for subscribing!

[@DarkAngelLion94]

Bears aren't related to dogs and actually have a much better sense of smell than a dog, good video I love the art.

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

I use bearhawks ever since capcom dnd arcade console

[@ernestlam5632]

Birds don't hibernate

[@kyliepoe6231]

Love your art style. It reminds me of the Planescape boxed set.

[@ArcaneForge]

Thank you so much! As serendipity would have it, a friend of mine just bought me Planetscape Torment on steam as a Christmas gift. I've never played through it, but now I'm even more excited. Cheers for watching!

[@simonwiesner6062]

Wow i want that as a pet so badly now!

[@kathleengonzalez8317]

What about a video and drawing of the ikwiikwii race? It`s a home brew race that i found on reddit they are basically small owlbears.

[@danieldeihl8237]

There's one dislike lol ?

[@ArcaneForge]

There is almost always one, Daniel! What can you do eh? Thanks for watching!

[@MrJonjon636]

@@ArcaneForge Still only one dislike, ~99.99% like to dislike ratio!

[@ArcaneForge]

Haha! I'm pretty sure it's the same person on all of my videos Jonathan!

[@cvapolo]

There's 3 now.

[@michaelszostak7489]

Do you use Photoshop or some other program?

[@wuerfelschmied6906]

I have to say, I find the music a bit to loud during your talk.

[@ArcaneForge]

Good to know! I've been wondering that. Next time I record, I'll turn it down a bit.

[@kylethomas9130]

Wait, they don't call them owlbears in WoW? Cause they called them that in Warcraft 3.

[@ArcaneForge]

Hey, Kyle. They sometimes do. I mean, it's a massive world, so there are bound to be plenty, but generally, I find that they're called Moonkins! Thanks for watching!

[@wackyruss]

Maybe it's related to B'Owl! BAT MEETS OWL!!!!! IT'S B'OWL!!!! A cinco toy. ;)

[@ArcaneForge]

That’s pretty sweet! I feel like there’s a punk band in there somewhere...”B’Owling for Owlbears?”
