    I know this is gonna sound weird, considering, but is there any kind of reason for the obsession with owls on hexbear outside of them being incredibly interesting and adorable? Like a symbolic thing?

    (Without going into too much detail and doxxing myself, I use the name owl because it’s the English translation of my actual name, so I am surprised to see it all over the place here)

        They are very interesting, so that makes perfect sense. Well, I’ll chip in.

        Like all birds, owls are dinosaurs. I have spent an inordinate amount of my lifespan imagining what an owl would look like as a prehistoric therapod.

        I was happy to discover that Prehistoric Planet included a rendition of just such a thing, with their interpretation of mononykus.
