Re: Urstrix or Owlbear
You suggested Featherbear. It works.
Sorry for any misspelling or writing error, I am not a native English speaker

Re: Urstrix or Owlbear
OK a little less precise on where the name comes from, Beaked Bear, the way I look at it, the first thing someone is going to notice in a dark cave when this thing attacks is that it's a great flippin' bear with a HUGE hooked beak...
Interestingly the description of the Owlbear has never mentioned it being completely feathered, but every picture I've seen except the original one in 1e MM has shown it heavily feathered

Re: Urstrix or Owlbear
I propose Strigiurstes comes from the family name of owls Strigidea + ursetes as a form of urses (bear)
Re: Urstrix or Owlbear
I like the logic, but know my players will shorten it to Strigurs
Re: Urstrix or Owlbear
which is not a problem I would think (and is actually an easier name to yell out in terror and surprise)

I stand behind "Owlbeast" as the cooler name, but failing that.... I dunno, Owlbear out of sheer laziness I guess.

Re: Urstrix or Owlbear
My heart is sad, knowing that I won't see the mighty Featherbear in the rulebook... unless I change it manually
