b'Hate-Owl \n'b' This sinister-looking owl has pitch-black plumage and a pallid face with yellow eyes. The V-shaped pattern of feathers on its brow gives the appearance of a perpetual scowl of utter scorn. \n'b'\n'b' Neutral evil Small monstrosity \n'b'  Armor Class  12  Hit Points  14 (4d6)  Speed  10 ft., fly 60 ft.\n'b' STATS STR: 5 (-3) DEX:  15 (+2)  CON:  10 (+0)  INT:  3 (-4)  WIS:  15 (+2)  CHA:  16 (+3)  \n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'\n'b'  Languages  none  Skills   Perception  +4,  Stealth  +4  Senses   darkvision  60 ft.

Spiteful, petty birds, the hate-owl got its name from the hateful scowl its natural plumage creates. They have been known to kill or torture for sport, attacking dogs and other small animals as they flense off flesh and fur and then leave the poor victims to limp away. \n'b' These great owls are large, although most of their bulk comes from fluffy feathers and  large   heads , with plumage that gives that appearance of wearing a high-collared cloak. Great horned owls have wingspans of up to 5 feet and weigh up to 4 pounds. Gable hate-owls primarily hunt at night,  locating prey through their excellent hearing and sight . Their diet consists of rodents supplemented by smaller birds and rabbits. \n'b' Their gaze particularly unsettles the folk of the Blight, as the piercing black eyes that seem dead peer out from under the sharp contrasting pale facial feathers. This sinister-looking visage creates ill fate to any that the owl wishes, typically casting its hateful look upon those that startle or interrupt the bird. A hate-owl\xe2\x80\x99s wickedly sharp beak lets it easily rip open hard shells or strip the flesh from its meals.'
