Professor Hoot the Owl from Happy Happy Clover, while nice and helpful, does have moments where he comes across as very creepy and a bit unnerving.It's worth noting that "Fukuro" is Japanese for "owl." He has a man's body but an owl's head (also two missiles on his back with the word "JUSTICE" printed on them), and one of his abilities is to swallow his opponents whole and use their magic until they digest fully. There is yet another Fukuro among the assassin group Trinity Raven in Fairy Tail, who is also noticeably creepy.Then he flies away like nothing happened! His unfortunate speech patterns takes the sting out of it a little (as does his talk of a "chicken of vengeance"), but he just stands there with those crazy eyes talking about the coming of the Devas like some goddamn Cheshire cat. just a talking owl that seems to exist only to give Takato and Henry nightmares. good God what the hell is up with that? He's not a Digimon or anything. Harbinger is the kew-word here, all too often the owls are used in films as normal, non-threatening (to humans) animals who merely enrich the eerie ambiance with their huge glistening eyes and especially their otherworldly hooting. Geoffrey Chaucer also had a thing for them. To the Hopi, they were a symbol of evil sorcery to the Romans, they were funerary birds, signaling ill will in the daytime (unless you were collecting their eggs, in which case they signaled a Hideous Hangover Cure) and the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often portrayed with owls. Owls have long been viewed as harbingers of disease, death, destruction, and bad luck. It doesn't really matter why they are creepy, they just are. Bad news for rodents), in the dark, when you're in the forest. Or perhaps it's the sounds they make at night (except for the beating of their wings, which are so soft and fluffy you'll never hear a thing. It could be those (relatively) gigantic, piercing eyes. And then snap their heads around to the other side so quickly you could be forgiven for thinking they'd actually gone 360.

Perhaps it's because most of them are nocturnal or that they eat cute little mice or that they can spin their heads all the way around note Not really, but they can turn their heads further around than most animals (270 degrees total compared to 180 degrees for a human).
