(Well like I said, it can really by anything including fantasy animals, so I really don't gave a place set.)
The owl, Bark, is really just there to be an owl. I do not plan for him to be very active (he is, after all, nocturnal).
My final submission:
Form:
Species: small Roc (fantasy animal)
Name: Khaled (This is a Middle Eastern word which I cannot pronounce, so we can pronounce it Kah-led.)
Physical description: Wingspan 15 feet. Pure white feathers, with piercing amber eyes and a yellow beak/legs. Picture an unusually large sea eagle with different coloration.
Personality: Khaled is looked up to by all the loyal forest animals. He is high-flown, dignified, and terse, yet actually cares deeply about the animals. He wants the forest to prosper and remain balanced, and conducts weekly checks of everything. Khaled expects all the land animals to gift him at least one good-sized food item every time he checks on them. If an animal is behaving exceedingly badly and he hears about it, he may try to punish it.
Other/extra: Khaled lives in a nest in a cave at the top of the tallest rocky mountain in the region. He eats all natural foods found in the forest.
