Old Betty – The War Owlbear

Old Betty – The War Owlbear

Female Beast (Monster)

Clad in heavy syndicate iron and bristling with predatory fury, this armored apex predator anchors the battlefield with terrifying weight. A massive fusion of avian grace and ursine muscle, the sculpt balances heavy plating with intricate plumage to create an imposing visual presence. Keepers can unleash her as a devastating war-mount, a catastrophic brute force encounter, or a heavily guarded faction asset.

Tabletop Lore

Raised within the cold confines of cartel captivity, Old Betty began her life as an exotic pet for Marchese di Houf. However, as the bloody street wars of Grimgate intensified, she was transformed into a living engine of war deployed against rival gangs. Outfitted with a heavy combat saddle and thick defensive armor plates, she serves as the devastating war-mount of the Nova-Rossa. Though her deployments to the front lines are rare, her extraordinary power and ferocity leave shattered lines and broken foes in her wake, turning the tide of conflict wherever her shadow falls.

Highlight

The intricate contrast between organic, layered feathers and riveted underworld ironmongery makes this Artifact a phenomenal center-of-the-table threat that commands immediate attention from players.
