In light of this, adventurers should always make sure to be aware of the presence of great owls when moving to engage angry owls. However, many adventurers have reported that great owls have charged them despite not being attacked first though further questionning has shown that those people had attacked normal angry owls before being charged, leading one to believe that the great owls can sense the pain of their kin and will react to it in that same offended manner as if they had been themselves attacked. Great owls are largely like angry owls in the way that they are docile wild animals who show little interest in sapients but will counterattack viciously if provoked. Replicating this ability with magic may allow people to finally study and understand the mysteries of specters once and for all. Wizards are, to this day, trying to understand this species its strange behaviours, especially regarding when other owls around them are injured, lead many wizards to theorize that the great owls may have a hidden sixth sense that allow them to feel the souls of creatures. The current leading theory is that they are the result of angry owls hunting down undead and other spectral energy-charged creatures in Death's domain, leading to this unique mutation occuring. They are also not a monster variant, being just as docile as normal angry owls usually. Theories as to the birth of those mysterious owls are many but demonic intervention has been discredited they lack the freak mutations or the blood lust usually associated with demonically enhanced species, being little more than particularly strong owls with glowing feathers. Observation of those great owls has allowed wizards to confirm their theory those unique owls somehow are able to attack specters, leading them to hunt and devour them, the white color of their feathers and the glow of their eyes being a product of the spectral energy thus consumed. Analysis of their feathers have showed that their bodies are effectively supercharged with spectral energy, the mysterious substance that glows in the same way spectral appearances does. Many owls have had their feathers somehow bleached white and have gained an ethereal green glow to their eyes.
Wizards have observed a very interesting mutation in the angry owl species in areas usually associated with the dead such as graveyards. Extremely large bird, white and black in color, with a curved beak and very large, round green eyes.
