I know this was mentioned several times ... but it still feels odd that any Druid would help monstrosity ...
Even tho they can talk to us. :-/

But there should be an option ...
How would you feel if Larian would turn this into another dialogue trap? Or at least semi-trap?

You would help Owlbear > it would attack you.
Or at least you would need to pass REALLY HIGH persuation check, so it dont attack you.

I feel like it wouldn't be a great trap because the game never actually defines the difference between a monstrous aberration and a fantasy animal. Players could certainly expect to have a dangerous time trying to deal with a wounded mother animal, but if the premise of the trap is that it will behave differently because its a monster, its an unfair, or at least a pointless trap if you either don't learn that information before meeting the owlbear or the encounter does not at least teach you about the distinction in the aftermath.
