Feathers coat its forelegs and upper body and its hindquarters are covered in fur. The beast's huge eyes seem to shine with murderous fury.A winged owlbear’s coat ranges in colour from brown-black to yellowish grey; with a black or dull ivory beak. A full-grown male can stand as tall as 8 feet and weigh up to 1,200 pounds.Like other owlbears, the winged variety can speak a debased form of Sylvan that is nothing but bestial screeches to the untutored ear. They never willingly talk to humanoids.CombatWinged owlbears attack prey—any creature bigger than a mouse—on sight, always fighting to the death. Being ungainly but eerily quiet flyers, they usually approach their prey by air, seeking to ambush them with a surprise swoop attack, then proceed to fight on the ground.They may carry slain or helpless victims back to their nest to feed to their young—a typical winged owlbear can fly while carrying a load of up to 346 pounds.Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a winged owlbear must hit an opponent up to its own size with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity and can proceed to Tear & Bite its opponent.Rend (Ex): If a winged owlbear hits a single opponent with both its claw attacks, or uses its Tear & Bite special attack (see below), it automatically inflicts an additional 2d8+9 damage.Swoop (Ex): A winged owlbear can use a dive attack to make two claw attacks against a single opponent, with a +2 bonus on the attack roll but normal damage (+12 melee and 1d8+6 damage for a typical winged owlbear). If both its claws hit it will Rend (see above) for an additional 2d8+9 points of damage.Tear & Bite (Ex): If a winged owlbear makes a full attack against a single grappled opponent it will automatically Rend its opponent for 2d8+9 points of damage (see above), even if it misses with its claw attacks. Furthermore, it makes bite attacks against grappled foes at its full +9 attack bonus, doing 1d8+6 damage if it hits.Superior Low-Light Vision (Ex): A winged owlbear can see five times as far as a human can in dim light.Skills: Winged owlbears have a +8 racial bonus on Listen checks, and a +4 racial bonus on Move Silently and Spot checks.*When in flight, winged owlbears gain a +8 bonus on Move Silently checks.</blockquote>
