#2537 - Ninox albifacies - Laughing Owl
AKA whēkau, hakoke, the jackass, or the white-faced owl. Originally described as Athene albifacies, then Sceloglaux ("scoundrel owl"), then Ieraglaux, and in 2016 moved to Ninox, after genetic studes of their remains revealed that they were actually closely related to the Australian and Asian Boobook Owls.
Once plentiful, and cheerfully preyed on introduced rats. Unfortunately, cheerfully preyed on by cats and stoats, and probably extinct by 1914. Possible sightings continued to the 1950s.
The call of the laughing owl was described as "a loud cry made up of a series of dismal shrieks frequently repeated", "A peculiar barking noise ... just like the barking of a young dog"; "Precisely the same as two men 'cooeying' to each other from a distance"; "A melancholy hooting note", or a high-pitched chattering on dark and drizzly nights or immediately preceding rain, and various whistling, chuckling and mewing.
One correspondent claimed that laughing owls would be attracted by accordions.

Brown Boobook
Happy Father's Day! In honor of Father's Day, we will begin a search for Cherine and try to have him liberated from wherever he's currently being kidnapped. "Wait, is Cherine kidnapped?" Look, if Cherine is offpage for ten minutes, we both know he's probably been kidnapped by *someone*. Feel free to comment with who you think has kidnapped Cherine after we rolled credits on Opinicus, if you'd like! This is one of the interior art pieces by Brenda "Windfalcon" Lyons from The Ruins of Crestfall, a novel by me (K. Vale Nagle). Unrelated, but heraldry is big on "male" gryphons being physically different (no wings, spike wings, etc.), but it got me wondering if anyone has done four-cat-pawed gryphons as female and two-bird-legs-two-paws gryphons as male? Not how I'd tell a story, but if no one has, I'd be surprised =]
New character! (built off an idea I've had for a while :3)
Ninox, named after a genus of true owls because of their owl-like face pattern. Is learning about human culture and all of its intricacies, through full immersion in human society. As such has several specialised traits to help her function within human spaces (such as the small size and more fingers) and appeal to people more easily (obvious 'eyes', and furred tail).
Will also be posting a generic version of this lineart as a base!
