Guardian Owl

Guardian Owls are supernaturally intelligent avians with a penchant for guarding a particular person. They imbue their ward with supernatural resilience -- in essence, the person under a Guardian Owl's protection cannot die. 
Those guarded by a Guardian Owl gain Regeneration (Normal), Regrowth, and Unkillable 2.
==Appearance==
Guardian owls are very much the shape and size of ordinary owls, although they should probably be given a unique plumage or iridescent sheen that sets them apart from ordinary owls. Given their unique intelligence, their mannerisms are likely much more responsive and "human" than their animal counterparts.
==Tactics / Fanon Tactics==
Guardian Owls are excellent early-game companions to a single-player adventure. The ultimate tutorial buddy who—while they cannot help much directly in combat—can offer advice while letting the player experiment and even fail catastrophically without worrying about dying.
Guardian Owls are said to be ex-wizards who have transformed themselves—on dreadful accident or for important purpose. While it's said they cannot change back, they can still offer much in magical knowledge—take notes, adventurer, as any Guardian Owl is likely a master of thaumatology.
Finally, remember that Guardian Owls can connect to the minds of small wildlife in a very wide radius, making them excellent scouts. While a common eagle may try to hunt a Guardian Owl, it will stop at the Owl's command. If the forest is inhabited by some other speaker-with-animals, this may have an interesting overlap, wherein a Guardian Owl may discover their animal thralls are already working for someone...
===Other Notes===
As one would expect of an avian, Owls have a good flying speed (Move 18) and a slow "walking" speed (Move 2).
