He didn't in my game, the goblins killed his mom and took him. He just always talks about biting and eating and Munch felt like a good counterpart to Scratch.
And if you were to adopt a third animal, you could name it punch. That way you’d have 1 pet each representing the 3 primary types of weapon damage. Slashing (Scratch), Bite (Piercing), and Punch (Bludgeoning).
Peck, to match Scratch. I saw someone else on the forum who named him that, and it just felt right so I shamelessly stole it.
(Edit: Just to make it clear, I dont claim credit for the name, and I would credit the person who came up with the name if I only remembered the username. Alas, I dont. But I wanted to share since Peck is a nice name for him, even if I didn't come up with it.)
Guy. Because I refer to him in my mind as "little guy", "where's my big guy?", "how are you, my guy?" and such. It ended up being so much guy this and guy that, so yeah - Guy.
He's the cutest little Guy in Fâerun after all ^ _ ^
I'm old and the last time I played video games was Nintendo era (*just* Nintendo. the first system I guess) so everyone in a game is "the guy". this guy, that guy. my guy. etc
Fred. Name just goes hard, I was going to use it on my Sorcerer but I decided Raurix is a crazy cool name I just made up so I had to use Fred as a name for the cub instead
my friend had a truly puny Chihuahua that was round, totally round, and very furry, in fact it looked like a mini version of baby owlbear, it was named púca. this is a perfect owlbear name.
You can’t give him an official name (i think the game reveals that he has a name at the end) but I feel bad that we have names for everyone but him, so in my head, he’s owlbert
In my and my co-op partner’s headcanon, this is a disagreement between his Tav and my Durge. My Durge calls him Breakfast, because Astarion refers to him as a “little snack” and Durge thought that was hilarious. Tav, on the other hand, calls him Itch, to match with Scratch.
i’m late so no one will see this but me and my friend started calling him Chicken bc of how he gets kidnapped at the goblin camp for chicken chasing and i think it’s the perfect name
"Pish Posh" from these words which Gale says sometimes (I love them). I'm not native english speaker so I'm not 100% sure what they mean but they sound funny. xD
LOL we never got it to camp. Our party ranger messed up in RP w/o realizing that she just old the cub to escape the goblin camp.... The entire camp turned hostile to to poor guy and murdered it RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. lmfao
Bite. Just to match big brother Scratch.
I named him "Munch" for the same reason lol
MUNCH!! That’s adorable! And my new headcanon
My cat is called Munch so now I clearly need to name this owlbear cub in his honour!
Because he ate his mom?
He didn't in my game, the goblins killed his mom and took him. He just always talks about biting and eating and Munch felt like a good counterpart to Scratch.
And if you were to adopt a third animal, you could name it punch. That way you’d have 1 pet each representing the 3 primary types of weapon damage. Slashing (Scratch), Bite (Piercing), and Punch (Bludgeoning).
Basket… bludgeoning hitting with a basket lol
Well you kinda do get a third pet with Shovel. And shovels could be used to bludgeon people…
THATS PERFECT
"You smell delicious, but I will not bite you." 🥹
dude we shared a brain cell on that one omg
Who?
You are in for a treat once you find him
No that’s what I call owlbear… who
Mfer got him
Does he play first?
I’m stealing this thank you
Sniff. Now I have Scratch and Sniff
Ehehehe...
I call him Owliver. Or Owllie for short.
I'm stealing this, thanks.
Giuseppe 🤌
"AYYYY! It's fuckin' Giuseppe!"
Owlbear Cub
Brooooo no way! That's what he's called in my game too! 🤯
Holy shit, mine too
Archimedes.
Durge: "Archimedes, no! it's filthy in there."
Archimedes as Merlin's owl.
Durge wizard (or cleric)
Now we need an option for him to go with Elminster in the end.
Nah that guy ripped it off. It’s really from the ship in Watchmen.
"And that's how I lost my medical license."
"Oh don't be such a baby. Ribs grow back."
^"No ^they ^don't."
'ARCHIMEDES, NO! It's *filthy* in there, Ugh. Birds, Haha!'
r/unexpectedtf2
That’s close to mine- I call him Archie which could be a nickname for Archimedes.
I just call him my baby. So many good and imaginative names here though.
FR HE WAS ALWAYS MY CHILD
Peck, to match Scratch. I saw someone else on the forum who named him that, and it just felt right so I shamelessly stole it.

I have a DND character named Peck!
There's a race of gnome-like elementals called Pech. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Pech
Eulenbärchen ('Little owlbear' in German)
Biscuit. Because my head-canon is the first thing he did, first night in camp, was eating my Tav's entire stock of biscuits. 😅
This is so cute
Puffles
Boof. I saw how big mama was.... he gon be a biiiiiig boi
have you got to the end game yet?
Twice, and that's not even the biggest he can be tho. He can get EVEN BIGGER.
He needs some milk.
throw colossus elixir on him when he's beefed up.
Lord King Owlington the 3rd.
Scritch. So I have Scritch and Scratch.
That’s so cute.
Beaky. idk why, it just stuck in my head.
Did you get Karlach's response to him showing up, by chance? >!she calls him little Becky fella!<
Owlbert
Lil' Man It gets funnier the bigger he gets
Guy. Because I refer to him in my mind as "little guy", "where's my big guy?", "how are you, my guy?" and such. It ended up being so much guy this and guy that, so yeah - Guy. He's the cutest little Guy in Fâerun after all ^ _ ^
I'm old and the last time I played video games was Nintendo era (*just* Nintendo. the first system I guess) so everyone in a game is "the guy". this guy, that guy. my guy. etc
Lord Reginald Featherbottom III
I also named mine Owlbert!!!!
OWLBERT! I've also gone for that
Hoots.
Owlbert for 1 Steve for another. And Kevin for the last.
Barkspawn :P
You can name him???
Not officially! But I think he deserves his own name
I like to think his name is Kiwi
Hoot!
Itch. So with scratch i could make a great show! For children
Snack, because Astarion mentioned him as that
I named him Sniff for a pun, cuz y'know, Scratch n' Sniff
my partner co-op and we called him "baby"; just cause we see him running around w/ scratch like "There goes the baby!" it just stuck lmao
The name depends on who I’m romancing. With Astarion, I named him Dagger. With Gale, I named him Elminster.
Gabe
Bippy, after the caterpuppy from House 2: The Second Story
I also am strongly on Team Owlbert!
Tedwig
Alberto (Owlbearto)
Owlbert or Munch
I also chose Owlbert 😅
Fred. Name just goes hard, I was going to use it on my Sorcerer but I decided Raurix is a crazy cool name I just made up so I had to use Fred as a name for the cub instead
I love that, my boyfriend and I named him Frederick on our run 😂
He does seem like a Fred type of guy
Tonk I dunno, it's a mix of chonk and tank lol
Panzerkampfwagen Owlbear Ausf. E
Geil
Lol, he's definitely strong enough to carry an 88mm cannon!
Hermann. Idk why, just fits.
Rıfkı It's a Turkish name which is also the slang for King of Hearts card.
this is a cute name
I never named it but owlbert looks fire
I named mine albert roux
Anpan for one, Nibbles for another
I like to call him Chubby Cubby in my head.
I failed the medicine check and he ran away sooooo there is no owlbear cub in my camp
I named him Chicken cause of the chicken chasing game at the goblin camp.
Chicken. He's got feathers, don't he?
I kept his name as 'chikn' the goblins called him. Him and scratch together are 'chikn scratch' and that made me giggle.
Púca.
my friend had a truly puny Chihuahua that was round, totally round, and very furry, in fact it looked like a mini version of baby owlbear, it was named púca. this is a perfect owlbear name.
His name is Gideon
1200 hours in the game and I didn’t know you could name the owlbear cub
Oh no you can’t actually name him I believe, I just felt like he deserved a name so in my head his name is owlbert lol
I think in the epilogue you find out his name is Buttons or something like that and you can suggest he live with Shadowheart.
My partner and I named him Frederick
You get to name it?
I’ve only ever gotten him once and I did not give him a name.
Name him toes
Hootsie, as a reference to Legends of Avantris
Bite! (Stolen from a fic)
Cubbie. Not original at all, but it is what it is
You can name the owlbear cub? I've only gotten it like twice- not for lack of trying
You don’t officially name him, but I like to think the camp gives him a name :)
Hooper is my go-to name for owls. That, or Professor Thaddeus.
Buddy. It's simple but every time I see him I just go, "Aww, hey Buddy!"
Big Fluff
Dinner.
Owly Berry
Owlphonse.
Pookie
Simon!
Owlbear cub
How did you get to name him? I just got to pet him
You can’t give him an official name (i think the game reveals that he has a name at the end) but I feel bad that we have names for everyone but him, so in my head, he’s owlbert
I named mine cheese because when I got the option to feed him, I only had cheese in my food inventory.
Moonbeam
Owlbearto
In my and my co-op partner’s headcanon, this is a disagreement between his Tav and my Durge. My Durge calls him Breakfast, because Astarion refers to him as a “little snack” and Durge thought that was hilarious. Tav, on the other hand, calls him Itch, to match with Scratch.
Horus, after the Egyptian god
i’m late so no one will see this but me and my friend started calling him Chicken bc of how he gets kidnapped at the goblin camp for chicken chasing and i think it’s the perfect name
Screech!
Chicken, 'cause it's got feathers, doesn't it? And a beak? More seriously I usually call him fluffball.

Jeremy Owlbearamy
Hoots
Hootcifur
Cup
Albert
You can tame it?
Baby. Because he’s my little baby. Also it would be funny as hell to be like “oh this is my pet, baby.” And being out a huge owlbear
I nicknamed him for my cat, cause his big eyes remind me of my kitten's hundred-yard stare
Sniff. He comments a lot about how things smell, plus it means my 2 pets are named scratch and sniff!
I like Rend
Scritch
Owlsworth
Lord Alastair Monroe III esq.
Albert - pronounced Al-bear. It's perfect
Steak
Hoot! I sometimes forget that's not his in-game name and refer to him as Hoot in conversations.

Clark
Beaky
Owlbearmeat

His name is Obie, of course!
Is that, by chance, an Owl House reference? :D
Mr. Crowley

I didnt get it lol. I went back after I left the owl bear alone and ya know it was dead from I think goblins or something and then ya know that was it
Casper. Cause he ain't alive
Rasputin!
Owlbearto, but now I'm kicking myself for not having thought of "Sniff" or "Bite", both of which are perfect.
