Its wings are broad and powerful, yet it never flies. It is said that Magowl is weighed down by the arcane secrets hidden within its cloak of feathers.
Magowl's original colors were taken from Burrowl and then hue-shifted.
Burrowl and Magowl were originally intended to be part of the same evolution family, with a shared pre-evolution. The pre-evolution was never successfully created.
Design origin[]
Magowl is based on a Great horned owl and a Great grey owl, with oversized, flightless wings, and a wizard. The large wings were wrapped around Magowl to resemble a cape or a robe, tying in to its wizard-like inspiration.
Both Burrowl and Magowl were originally Great horned owls that had adapted to different biomes in an extreme sense.
