Actually. Y'all know those animal videos that are like My Dog Was Raised By Cats And Now He Purrs or This Duck Thinks He's A Dog or Mama Cat Raised Puppy Alongside Kittens?
That is. Probably what happens to Owlbear Cub.
Because he's not really being raised as an owlbear. He was, for a bit, but he didn't have a mom for very long. His primary role model now is Scratch, a goodboye. Owlbear Cub is, basically, being raised as a weird dog.
So it seems natural that he'd start copying Scratch's behaviours, to bond with his new family. And those would become habits, settled in beside his instinctive owlbear behaviours.
Scratch likes to play fetch? One day, it's Owlbear Cub who returns the ball to Shadowheart.
Scratch gets up to go lay his head on Astarion's chest when he starts to twitch and sob in his not-sleep? Owlbear Cub will go with him, and curl up there too.
Scratch enjoys chewing on Wyll's socks? Owlbear Cub...doesn't like chewing in general, really, but he does learn that if he steals companions' things and runs around the camp with them, they will chase him, and he thinks that's great fun! Gale's trousers, discarded on the floor of his tent. Astarion's shirt, snatched off the drying line. Minsc's underpants, at one point, which is still better than trying to eat Boo.
(They still haven't managed to stop him hunting small critters and dropping the bodies in people's laps, though. They're not sure where he got that one from, but Tav is sure he keeps doing it because Lae'zel and Astarion keep praising him for it. Their justifications are, respectively, "The creature is a drain on our resources; it is good that it is proving useful as a pest repellent," and, "Ooh, yay, fast food.")
Anyway, yeah. Little dude thinks he's a dog send tweet
Behold
this little guy!
The pattern for this absolutely adorable owlbear plushie is NOT from me but was created by the amazing ComplicatedKnots.
Please check out their youtube and etsy and shower this amazing crochet artist with some love. their patterns are incredible.
I had an absolute blast making him and believe me when I say, every stitch of this little owlbear is made with love :] When I first encountered the owlbear plushie in Baldurs Gate 3, I was already filled with glee AND NOW I AM ABLE TO HOLD HIM IN REAL LIFE!!!! I added some weights and lavender for scent to his stuffing so he is literally perfect.
I spent probably way too long working on creating this gif with ffmpeg. I wanted the file to be small enough that you could upload it anywhere, while still capturing the beauty of this moment. I give you....owlbear cub as seen in my durge play-through. I always save owlbear cub even if I'm doing an evil run, because look at this perfect nugget. Just look at him. 😤
I just wanted to note how extra bean owlbear is in this clip. transcript: *spooky dungeon noises* Jem (my oc): oh no jellybean... oh no... alt text: A short screen recording of baldur's gate 3 in the campsite within the underdark. My OC, a gray skinned blue haired drow in black pants and a black cape is going down some stairs and stops mid-way to see that an owl bear cub is particularly bean shaped, more than normal.
When the heroes are not in the camp
putting astarion's sewing skills to worthwhile use

They never give you an option to name the cub but in my heart this is Absolute-ly (haha) canon.
