Behavior

A strictly nocturnal predator, the yodeling owl roosts in trees by day and hunts small rodents at night. It uses its powerful talons to snatch its prey before flying away to enjoy its meal.

Actions

---

Fly

The creature takes off from the ground or continues flying. It travels though the air a distance up to its flight speed and stays level or ascends by up to half its flight speed.

While flying, the creature must use at least one frame on your turn to continue moving, unless it has the ability to hover.

Owls have specially-adapted feathers that make their flight virtually silent. The difficulty to hear this creature while it flies is increased by 5.

---

Nosedive

While flying, the creature rapidly descends, flying laterally at double its flight speed while descending at least half its flight speed in feet.
