Owlesque is the [[Paironormal Monsters|Paironormal monster]] of [[Faerie Island]] that released as part of Cloverspell 2025. It is an owl-like creature that plays a distorted bass clarinet.

== In-game Bio ==
"The Hoax [[Paironormal Monsters|Paironormal]] lives by the four D's: deceive, dissemble, dissimulate and distract! Owlesque's Major and Minor forms symbolize the false projection of ourselves that we present to others, and the true self that we keep concealed. Yet, neither form is any less lovely than the other: with a simple flip, both aspects of Owlesque are equally striking, offering an unsettlingly strigine elegance and eye-catching markings (if you know which eye to catch). For all its supposed trickery, this Paironormal's existence encourages radical acceptance of all aspects of ourselves, and its piercing eyes (both camouflaged and corporeal) dare you to believe that beauty is simply a matter of perspective.

This Monster, like all Paironormal Monsters, has both a Major and Minor form, depending on the island on which it appears. These dual forms have alternating availability over the course of the day, so you'll need to check which one is available as you try to add it to your collection!"

== Breeding ==
Owlesque, like the other Paironormals and the single element [[Ethereal Monsters|Ethereals]], are bred using a Quad and a Triple element Monster, and in this case, Pladdie and any triple elemental on Faerie Island
* {{BreedingCombo|Pladdie|Ziggurab}}
** This combo is not recommended, as failing and getting a [[Ziggurab]] will take longer than failing and getting a triple element Magical Monster.
* {{BreedingCombo|Pladdie|Cantorell}}
* {{BreedingCombo|Pladdie|Bridg-it}}
* {{BreedingCombo|Pladdie|Clavi Gnat}}
