Astrohoot

Welcome to Eldergrove, Researcher. You were sent by the Academy to research and document the magical creatures in and around Eldergrove: #063 - ASTROHOOT Type: Air / Cosmic Habitat: Ancient Observatory Oaks & Star-Peaks Size: 1.5–2 feet Rarity: Rare / Mythic APPEARANCE: A regal owl with feathers the color of the deepest night sky. Its body is a living map of the stars; golden constellations glow across its wings and chest, shifting slightly as the seasons change. It possesses large, sun-bright eyes and sharp, golden talons. BEHAVIOR: Astrohoots are incredibly selective and solitary. They spend their lives perched on "Star-Clouds," observing the movement of the planets. Unlike most Isimon, they are capable of human speech, but they are famously tight-lipped, choosing to speak only to individuals they find "worthy" or those in desperate need of a specific truth. ABILITY: Stellar Forecast. By looking at the patterns on its own feathers, the Astrohoot can predict weather, magical shifts, or even the outcome of a traveler's journey with 100% accuracy. HABITAT & DIET: They live in high-altitude trees that have been struck by starlight. They do not hunt prey; they consume "Universal Truths" and the faint humming energy of the aurora borealis. LORE: In Eldertown, it is said that an Astrohoot’s silence is a compliment, but its advice is a burden. Sage warns that an Astrohoot never tells you what you want to hear, only what the stars have already written. Temperament: Stoic, Wise, Highly Selective Activity: Nocturnal
