Owl



Owls are broad-faced, nocturnal birds known to hunt rodents and reptiles. They look different from most birds in that they have wide faces, short curved beaks, and large, front-facing eyes.

Owls are found throughout Teldrassil, Felwood, and Winterspring. In Alterac Valley, the Alliance has befriended the owls. Owls have also been found in Outland, though under different names: the brown and black kaliri in the Hellfire Peninsula and Sethekk Halls (a species of bird raised by the arakkoa) and the brown windrocs in Nagrand.

Species

 * Common owl
 * Common owls are nocturnal birds of prey from 1 to 2 feet long, with wingspans up to 6 feet. They combine both talons into a single attack. Owls swoop quietly down onto prey, attacking with their powerful talons. They have good hearing, can move silently, and can see well in areas of shadowy illumination.
 * Giant owl
 * Snowy owl
 * These large owls are from 4–5 feet long with wingspans up to 12 feet. They are common in northern Kalimdor. They are aggressive only if disturbed.
 * Great Horned Owl
 * Hawk Owl
 * Windroc

Named

 * Olm the Wise

Vanity pets
An Alliance player can purchase two types of owls as vanity pets from a vendor before the gates to Darnassus:
 * Great Horned Owl
 * Hawk Owl

As a hunter pet

 * They are only found in Teldrassil until level 48. Some lower-level Horde hunters sneak into Teldrassil to tame an owl earlier. Some players avoid them because their large wings can interfere with targeting.
