Multiattack.
The owlbear makes two attacks: one with its beak and one with its claws.

They already have a bear form, why would they add an owlbear form? There al isn’t any owlbears in Diablo so it doesn’t fit at all as a new form.

Gameplay

Beak Attack is a trigger that can be supported by items.
Ex: Your Beak attack slows the enemies
Ex: Your Beak triggers a lightning strike

Multi Attack is a trigger that can be supported by items.
Ex: When you multi attack, effect X happens.

Multi Attack brings multi hit, which can support Lucky Hit builds.

Fantasy

Bear is fun, but monstruosities bring exotism.
Only Bear or Werewolf is a little bit too binary for me.

Druid can shapeshift and this is one of the most interesting gameplay mechanics, possibilities are endless.

You mentioned other monstrous beings - try working on them instead.

Maybe try something not related to a bear and has some relation to Diablo.

You can play one in WoW if you want.

How about a canarybear? A little canary head on a big bear body. Or, better yet, a big bear head on a little canary’s body. Frightening to think about a bear’s head flying at you.

Reminds me the character of Filo in The Rising Shield Hero
