:::No, I see no reason not to mention stilt-owls. Decidueye lacks a barn owl's very distinctive face. There's no indication in either the name or the lore that it's specifically a barn owl. It seems to be a mix of a couple of different owl species, or no owl in particular, as opposed to one specific species.

:Heh. Hey, as I said, it was just a crazy idea I thought I'd add to [[User talk:Mimi|Mimi]]'s {{wp|pueo}} theory. *shrugs* ;) As far as I'm concerned at the moment, Decidueye is an {{wp|archer}}-{{wp|owl}} that may or maynot tie into {{tt|some sort of Hawaiian lore|concerning its sudden Ghost typing}}. That last part is just {{tt|a self-justification on its typing|as I said}} and is basically a "{{tt|WIP|work in progress}}", as I'll just wait and see what else happens. ;) If there are any "dots" that will be connected or the like, then "cool-beans". ----[[User:NateVirus|<span style="color:blue">NateVirus</span>]]<small>''([[User talk:NateVirus|<span style="color:green">Talk</span>]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|<span style="color:red">Contributions</span>]]''</small>) 02:50, 28 October 2016 (UTC) | :Heh.

I'm seeing rumors crop up on Twitter that Decidueye is based on the [[wp:stilt-owl]], an ancient owl that was native to Hawaii, but went extinct some time between Hawaii's initial colonization by what are now native Hawaiians and the arrival of Europeans. They are only known today from fossil record. --[[User:Macsen|Macsen]] ([[User talk:Macsen|talk]]) 13:36, 28 October 2016 (UTC) | |||
