The owl's talons can seize and carry small objects but cannot operate tools or most mechanisms.

Attacks and Traits

Talons. The owl deals 1d4 + DEX.

Silent Flight. The owl's plumage makes no sound in flight. Hearing alone cannot detect it.

Darkvision. The owl has Darkvision 120 ft and can spot movement on the ground from considerable height.

Directional Hearing. Hearing is a very favorable factor when the owl locates an unseen creature within 60 ft. Illusions still use the normal Will Save described under Perception.

An Animal Mind

A summoned owl understands territory, prey, routes, signals, and simple concrete orders. Higher profiles improve its body and senses, not its intelligence. A caster using Polymorph retains their own mind.
