Owlins are humanoids, said to be distant relatives to the Giant Owls living in the Feywild, with arms that end with three clawed fingers, legs with clawed owl-like feet, and wings protruding out from their back and shoulders that enable them to fly.
Their feathers allow them to fly silently, their night vision is extraordinary, and they are very stealthy in general, all abilities that make them well suited for scouting, exploring, and ambushing enemies when there’s no way to avoid the conflict.
Being very protective of Fey creatures and friends, they make for superb adventuring companions and are often welcomed and praised for their bravery which allows their names to be heard, names such as Hartlau Lungcloak, and Milian Peacharrow.

These versatile humanoid owl-like creatures are stealthy, smart, and very protective of family and close friends. They are well suited for many roles, especially adventuring where they can use their superb night vision and silent flying, and while many are jovial creatures it’s not hard to see a more violent and aggressive side of them, especially when defending their loved ones. Their versatility is also one of their main strengths, and why they are so highly sought after.
