_Owlbear Companion | [[Shadowtop Cathedral]]_
## Summary
Gentle-natured owlbear who escaped from the missing **Wandering Wonders** circus and became a devoted companion to the heroes. Rescued by [[Astra]] from pursuing kobolds on [[Stormwreck Isle]]. [[Valkalyn]] recognized his circus origins through the whistle around his neck. His training made him more docile and intelligent than typical owlbears, though he retained his natural protective instincts. Has fought alongside the heroes at the [[Clifftop Observatory]] and elsewhere. The party often debates whether to bring him on dangerous missions—[[Valkalyn]] checks on him via her Crystal Ball of Telepathy when they're separated.
