Description
The Baleful Strix comes from somewhere beyond Valley. It is not an animalfolk, but neither is it a Calamity Beast. Some believe it is an interloper from another plane. It has the appearance of a great owl, but with wooden thorns protuding from its head and back, and wooden sticks with twine emerging from beneath its wings.
The strix was first sighted by squirrelfolk in the Calamity Graveyard. Whether or not the strix is the only of its kind remains to be seen.
