Owlbert

* Live
* Full wood

“
Oh, he's my palisman, and we're bonded for life. I'd annihilate anyone who'd hurt him.
”

—Eda talking about her relationship with Owlbert

**Owlbert** is a supporting character in *The Owl House*. He is the owl palisman of Eda Clawthorne. He is the first inhabitant of the Demon Realm that Luz encounters, and the initial reason she ends up on the Boiling Isles.

## Appearance

Owlbert is a small owl palisman. He has a tan face, a light brown stomach, and his back, wings, tail, and upper head and forehead are dark brown. He has large yellow eyes and a russet beak and feet. His staff interlock, located on the base of his right foot, is a circular shape with a triangular notch near the bottom of it.

In staff form, his wings wrap closely around his body, His feet, positioned close together, form into a convex wooden shape at the base of his body in order to properly connect onto his staff, which is dark brown in color. He possesses similar coloring to his live form with minor differences, such as his face becoming slightly darker. His eyes become brown and the insides of his wings are the same light brown as his body, as opposed to the dark brown in his live form. When in flight or utilizing magic as a staff, his eyes glow bright yellow and his wings spread out.

## Personality

Owlbert is shown to be intelligent, compassionate, generous and loyal, not only to Eda, but to any of the people he cares about. In "Escape of the Palisman", after Luz accidentally injures him, he flees from her, escaping to the Bat Queen's lair, but after Luz demonstrates that she really does care for him through a series of trials imposed on her by the Bat Queen. and that she really is sorry for what happened, he fully forgives her, and when Bat Queen becomes overprotective of him, he sternly steps in and assures her that he cares for Luz, and wishes to return home to her and Eda. Later, Owlbert looks out for Luz, Willow , and Gus even further, to the point of lying to Eda about what had happened so they wouldn't be punished. He is shown competitive when playing Hexes Hold'em with Eda in "Hooty's Moving Hassle", but accepts his defeat upon losing to her. He is shown to enjoy physical affection, such as Eda scratching under his wings.

## Abilities

### **Unique Abilities**

* **Attachment** and **Detachment**: Owlbert has the ability to attach himself onto the Owl Staff as a palisman and detach himself to fly or walk around.
* **Communication:** Owlbert is able to communicate with Eda. He is also (most likely) able to communicate with other palismen.
* **Flight:** Owlbert is able to fly both in his animal and staff form. Much like the broomstick of a witch from old Slavic legends, the Owl Staff can be used as a service of transportation through the skies. The staff can fly when the owl flaps its wings. In staff form, Owlbert can also float by himself when being summoned.
* **Wood mimicry**: He is able to turn into wood when attached atop the staff.
* **Magic**: The Owl Staff can conjure its own spells with its own magic. Luz uses the Owl Staff in "Young Blood, Old Souls" to use the ice magic to attack Emperor Belos and to connect the Fire Glyphs that she has placed on the portal to the Human Realm. An ensuing connection between the staff and glyphs causes the portal to blow up into pieces.
* **Strength**: In "Agony of a Witch", Owlbert uses his claws to successfully transport Luz from the sharp horn-like structures below her.

## Trivia

* Owlbert shares the same name as a 1988 children's book, called *Owlbert*, written by Nicholas Harris.
* Owlbert's staff form makes a cameo in the Crawlspace in *Gravity Falls: Lost Legends*.
* According to Eda's mug shot in "Once Upon a Swap", Owlbert in his staff form is 5'9" tall. It is uncertain how tall this truly is, as they were likely measured using a unit of measurement pertaining to the Empirical System, mentioned by Lilith in "Elsewhere and Elsewhen".
* According to Dana Terrace, Eda carved Owlbert after she had been cursed, as a means of personally reclaiming the owl imagery associated with her curse.
