"The Banshee Owl is known to many as a portent of impending death though few realize how accurate a description this truly is. Folklore attests that the Banshee Owl is sent out as a messenger from the underworld to tell the members of the family about an impending bereavement, while I have personally never seen a Banshee Owl do such a thing but their purpose is definitely linked intrinsically to death, once I saw a man who had caught sight of one such owl amongst the trees, I saw him as he struggled his body gripped in a rigour mortis like paralysis, it was then the Owl's third eye opened and I saw the man begin to age, his body rapidly wasting away to a thin dust like vapour as his bones crumbled to be blown away on the wind. Thankfully the creature, apparently sated vanished in a haze of cyan light." Instinct: to feed on souls
