Okay, I wanted to look up the term "screech owl" today, since I've seen it a lot in the forests in Lusternia. So I did, but WP gives an either/or definition.

So is it the Scopes Owl?

Or the Barn Owl?

I'm guessing since the game is a US one, it's the Scopes one, but I'm not sure.

I know this might seem a trivial question, but this is really bugging me because I'm trying to build a mental picture, etc...

Never heard of Barn Owls being the same thing as Screech Owls.

Just picture the lusternian ones like this little fellah.



Edit: Or this one




owls

I prefer this owl:

Edit: Eeek, giant owl. Oh well, deal with it

Edit2: There we go, different owl

Oh no, not the O Rly drift...

You asked an owl question, how could you hope to avoid it?

You brought this on yourself!

Finding Ya rly owls is harder than I expected....

How is this hard to find?

Thats the o rly owl, not that ya rly owl

Like this owl, please kill this thread

!

Don't kill the thread until I get a straight answer from one of the gods!

It was a real question.

One of the great things about text games is that you can build your own mental image, and picture whatever owl you want. So pick one of the above owls that you like, and picture that one, and sweep happily.

Edit:

Yeah but I wanna know if Estarra or whoever else wrote the Ecology stuff was thinking of the British Definition or US Definition.
