Owlbeasts
Hyakki is the Avathar goddess of nature's wrath, blighted forests, and the hunt. She is symbolized by an implacable antler-horned huntress with her pack of howling wolves. Hyakki hates her sister aspect of Lunara, and the sacred white owls and white unicorns of the moon goddess are always the favorite prey of Hyakki's hunters. Hyakki has been known to birth owl beasts and rare black unicorns in mockery of Lunara.
From fissures in the dark trees, monstrous shapes sprang up! Owl-headed beasts, ten feet high, prowled in hungry anticipation towards them, their feathered manes rustling as they approached. Powerful muscles flexed beneath a feathery coat, claws worked in and out of paws, scraping great gashes in the soil.
Hyakki, goddess of the hunt and dark forests, has created these foul abominations in mockery of Lunara's sacred white owls. Covered with dark feathers, these beasts appear much like a cross between an owl, bear, and lion.
