Giant owls are nocturnal birds of prey, feared for their ability to hunt and attack in near
silence. They are intelligent, and though naturally suspicious, sometimes associate with good creatures. A typical
giant owl stands about 9 feet tall, has a wingspan of up to 20 feet, and resembles its smaller cousins in nearly every way except size.
Giant owls speak Common and Sylvan.
A
giant owl attacks by gliding silently just a few feet above its prey and plunging to strike when directly overhead.
Superior Low-Light Vision (Ex): A
giant owl can see five times as far as a
human can in dim
light.
Skills: Giant owls have a +8 racial bonus on
Listen checks and a +4 racial bonus on
Spot checks.
Although intelligent, a
giant owl requires training before it can bear a rider in
combat. To be trained, a
giant owl must have a friendly attitude toward the trainer (this can be achieved through a successful
Diplomacy check). Training a friendly
giant owl requires six weeks of work and a DC 25
Handle Animal check. Riding a
giant owl requires an exotic saddle. A
giant owl can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a
Ride check.
Giant owl eggs are worth 2,500 gp apiece on the open market, while chicks are worth 4,000 gp each. Professional trainers
charge 1,000 gp to rear or train a
giant owl.
Carrying Capacity: A
light load for a
giant owl is up to 300 pounds; a medium load, 301-600 pounds; and a heavy load, 601-900 pounds.
