Ominous Owl	comment	Owls possess several traits that make them creepy to humans. Firstly, they're nocturnal and permeate the dark of night with their spooky call. Secondly, they strike in silence and eat cute critters like little mice. Thirdly, not many creatures on this planet can spin their heads all the way around, and owls are among those few capable of this uncanny feat.note Not really, but they can turn their heads further around than most animals (270 degrees total compared to 180 degrees for a human). And then snap their heads around to the other side so quickly you could be forgiven for thinking they'd actually gone 360 And then there's also those wide, piercing eyes of theirs and claws that can badly hurt a human if an owl would choose to attack one. Rare, but not unheard of. Owls have long been viewed as harbingers of disease, death, destruction, and bad luck. To the Hopi, they were a symbol of evil sorcery; to the Romans, they were funerary birds, signaling ill will in the daytime (unless you were collecting their eggs, in which case they signaled a Hideous Hangover Cure); and the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often portrayed with owls. In some Native North American traditions, owls are associated with the evil wintertime spirits most popularly known in English as wendigo, and a few languages used a single word to refer to both the bird and the spirit. Geoffrey Chaucer also had a thing for them. Harbinger is the key-word here, all too often the owls are used in films as normal, non-threatening (to humans) animals who merely enrich the eerie ambiance with their huge glistening eyes and especially their otherworldly hooting. So remember: if you ever see an owl, clutch your Tootsie Roll Pops tightly and run in the other direction. See also Brutal Bird of Prey, Creepy Crows, Vile Vulture, and Circling Vultures for other types of scary, creepy birds, as well as Bat Out of Hell for another scary nocturnal flyer, and The Owl-Knowing One (for when the owl is an Evil Genius). Contrast Cute Owl (though there might be some overlap when Cute Is Evil).

Ominous Owl / int_1b021fcb	comment	In Tokyo Ghoul, the Ghouls with this Animal Motif are particularly frightening. The legendary One-Eyed Owl, the most powerful Ghoul seen in the original series. Rumored to be a Half-Human Hybrid prone to committing cannibalism, it appeared suddenly a decade prior to the series and began a killing spree targeting Ghoul Investigators. It was only when The Ace challenged it that the Owl was forced to retreat even managed to defeat them but spared due to personal reasons, going into hiding. The mere thought that it could show up again terrifies CCG, and with good reason. When it finally appears, it becomes clear just how monstrous a Ghoul can become. Kind and grandfatherly Yoshimura — normally associated with The Owl-Knowing One — becomes this trope when sufficiently provoked into coming out of his peaceful retirement. When he fights, it is typically presented as a Mook Horror Show. The sequel gives us another such Ghoul, former Plucky Comic Relief Seidou Takizawa. Reforged into a Minion and driven mad, he gleefully murders everything in his path. That he looks like a strung-out Goth adds to his creepiness, as does him comparing human brains to jam. Another one who has this trope is no other than Koutaro Amon, who also received Yoshimura's kagune and thus his abilities, and suffers both of the pros as well as the cons.

When they looked inside and found their old friend, Zato-Ino, in a hut and gravely wounded, that bird was a bad omen. However, they are able to successfully treat the pig and Gen spitefully goes out to taunt the bird and drive it away. Later the Owl is diving for a cute little lizard, but the little guy is saved by an attacking Tokage who tackles the Owl and eats it. There's a very mysterious assassin called "The Lord of Owls" who appears in one chapter.

They're not ominous in and of themselves; however, a codex entry found in the game may make them seem so, when it explains that the owl is an emblem of Falon'Din, the Dalish god of death. This is actually the very earliest subtle hint that Solas, the companion who showed the Inquisitor how to find the fortress, is actually Fen'Harel, the Dalish Trickster God.

Ominous Owl / int_3a770ffb	comment	The villain of Nighttime Is My Time is a Serial Killer who uses an owl as his symbol. He calls himself the Owl and is referred to by this name in his narration to conceal his identity from the reader. The villain chose this alias because owls are stealthy nocturnal predators, like him. It also stems from an incident in his childhood where he had to play an owl in a school performance but was so nervous he ended up humiliating himself and was slapped by his father; he was later mocked for it in high school too, so he reclaims it as a symbol of his power and vengeance against those who have wronged him. The Owl also utilizes owl-shaped pins as his Calling Card and wears an owl mask while committing his crimes.

If the Mother Fox fails to do so, it will wake up and try to take off with one of the baby foxes unless the Mother Fox fends them off.

Bonus points for being able to Mind Rape its enemies when threatened. Mephilas is a Devil Bird pretty clearly based off Stolas mentioned above. Mephilas dramatically increases the intelligence of its master, but overexposure to him can induce existential horror and depression. Inducing this in victims is also Mephilas' signature attack.

One pattern is certain: they get progressively deader and appear in connection to Reluctant Warrior Trull Sengar and may be a symbol for his growing enstrangement from his people. Owl #1 is seen happily munching on a freshly caught mouse while Trull's world is still alright. Owl #2 has both a bloodied beak and bloodied claws and is seen in hurried flight, at a point where Trull's world is starting to come apart at the seams. He finds owl #3, freshly dead, shortly before realizing how there's no going back, and owl #4, long dead and decaying, is found by his betrothed in her empty house, right about the time everything's clearly gone downhill.

Fortunately for you, by the time you're exploring the Stranger, all that's left of its builders are faded portraits on the walls of ruined homes, damaged slide reels explaining their history, and their mummified corpses in hidden rooms. Unfortunately for you, you'll eventually have to enter the ringworld's Lotus-Eater Machine and discover that while the owl aliens are dead in reality, in virtual reality they're still quite alive, and don't like intruders.

Ominous Owl / int_de0a2ea5	comment	Ori and the Blind Forest has Kuro, a large, black owl who attacks the Tree of Light and repeatedly chases Ori. As the game goes on, she becomes a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds when we find out why she's so angry at the Tree of Light. The sequel Ori and the Will of the Wisps, averts this with her daughter Ku. However, it still gets in its evil owl quota with Shriek, who is so twisted by The Decay that it's difficult to even recognize her as an owl. Like Kuro she has a sympathetic backstory, but outright refuses when offered a hand. Staying a villainous Iron Woobie to the end.

Ominous Owl / int_e175bcd5	comment	An episode of The Scooby-Doo Shownote Originally made as a revival of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, but that's just nitpicking had a Monster of the Week called the Willawaw, whose attacks on a person were heralded by an owl hooting the pending victim's name. In addition, the Willawaw had a pair of Owl Men to act as its minions. Since the episode included Native American characters, the lore was likely inspired by the Native American traditions listed in the "Myths & Religion" folder above.

Ominous Owl / int_e7cbaeca	comment	Stephen Bauer's fantasy novel Satyrday centers on the attempts of the protagonists — an orphaned boy, the satyr who raised him, a fox-spirit, and a sympathetic raven — to combat a malevolent owl and his plot to kidnap the Moon (who is a character in her own right). The owl is tyrannical and very cruel, a prime example of this trope.

It tends to be little more than an annoyance at first, simply throwing weak, homing feather shurikens at you and trying to perform an Enemy Scan on you. Should it complete the scan, however, it'll start blasting you with high-tier magic and evading your attacks. The creepiness mostly applies to its Nightmare version, thanks to its soulless red eyes and sinister color scheme.

Ominous Owl / int_fdf7a632	comment	Vampire: The Requiem (and its historical setting, "Requiem for Rome") has the Strix: strange, ghostly owl-like beings who may be responsible for, among other things, the fall of the Roman Empire, and the creation, followed by subsequent destruction, of a Clan of vampires. They possess corpses, and sleeping vampires, and walk about causing mischief. Needless to say, they're the bad guys and the boogeymen. They're also based on an actual Roman myth. They also appear in the Hunter: The Vigil sourcebook on taking on vampires. They make a guy murder his girlfriend so they can ride the corpse. Second Edition expands on the creepiness of the strix by going into their ethos: They are closely tied to the Beast that embodies a vampire's predatory urges. They believe vampires are just corpses pretending to be human, and their actions are often aimed at disabusing vampires of the notions of humanity, which is pretty much the only thing keeping the Beast in check.
