Owls are quiet nocturnal flyers who hunt rodents. They are common familiars for spellcasters.[1]
Common variants
Snowy owls are common familiars in cold climates. Their white feathers help it blend into snowy environments, allowing it to hunt more stealthily.[2]
Giant owls
The giant owl is up to 18 feet tall with a wingspan of 30 feet. They weigh up to 600 pounds. These intelligent beasts are keen observers of their forest,[3] and are willing to take on a rider, if that person shares the ideals of defending the forest.[4] The giant owls of the Fierani Forest reside in the House of Sky and are allied with the elves of Kyonin to hunt their mutual enemy: Treerazer and his demons.[5]
In religion
The archon empyreal lord Tanagaar's true form is that of a giant owl and his holy symbol is a shadowed golden owl's eye. The Aurulent Eye watches in the darkness for signs of evil, symbolically just as an owl hunts in the night. He almost always travels with a retinue of local owls.[6]
