An Owlwolf is similar to the size of a large wolf, its pelt is feathered, and its snout is a vicious curved fanged beak. Its forelegs have long, wing-shaped feathers and end in big sharp claws.
The owlwolf is a nocturnal pack predator, aggressive against almost any kind of creature. When possible owlwolves will attack from behind, taking advantage of their superior numbers and perfect Darkvision (up to 200 feet in complete non-magical darkness) to attack from the cover of darkness. This attack method lets them surprise others on 1-4 on 1d6; if their victim is surprised the owlwolf receives a +4 attack bonus and doubles any damage inflicted.
While lacking true wings, an owlwolf can glide up to 100 feet after running for 3 rounds. This gliding is so silent that if an owlwolf swoops down to attack it surprises its victim on 1-3 on 1d4; the owlwolf receives a +4 attack bonus and triples any damage against the victim if surprised.
