Ok, now I am never going to be able to look at a barn owl again without seeing this lol.

(Also, I'm working my way through the Ori video game series. Not sure how I feel about barn owls being used as the big bad... Barn owls seem pretty cool.)

To most little creatures, any owl might as well be one of the fellbeasts the Nazgul ride on.

I hadn't heard of Ori, but it looks cool, though all the pics and videos I'm looking at are too dark. I'll have to look into it some more. No Xbox, so I'll have to watch a play through.

I'm playing on Steam on my PC! And it's available on Switch as well. If you're ever curious to play. It's not the most innovative metroidvania ever made, but the art, setting, and story are fun.

And yeah, I guess I can totally see an owl being the big bad villain of any forest from the perspective of a creature like Ori haha
