Horned Owls are a fierce predator known to hunt in the forests at night time. Their relative, Sentry Owls, are known to do the same, although there is a noticeable size difference between the two. By most estimates, the Sentry Owl’s wingspan can reach up to four paces across whereas a Horned Owl would top out around two paces. The Sentry Owl’s talons are incredibly sharp and durable, capable of rending flesh, muscle, and ligaments alike. Their beaks are powerful enough to pry apart its meals with ease. These owls, like their relatives, hunt exclusively at night time and they have developed huge, almost comical-looking eyes that are adept at seeing in the dark.

The Sentry Owl is known to eat a variety of small woodland creatures. They can take down foxes, dogs, even small wolves without any issue. They typically do not attack humans unless they feel threatened, but if you are traveling through the woods with small children or animals, you had best take caution. Although these owls don’t typically hunt during the day, some can and will break the mold if they get hungry enough.

The Sentry Owl does not have many natural predators, but among its most feared is the Hunter Spider. These spiders just as big as a Sentry Owl, but they are much heavier and are more than capable of leaping great heights to take down a Sentry Owl. That said, the Sentry Owl’s natural defenses are more than enough to turn the tables, depending on the situation. To protect their young, the Sentry Owl will typically not nest in forests, but instead look to find an isolated tree in the countryside instead. Fiercely territorial, the Sentry Owl will remove (and kill) any birds that are currently trying to nest in its desired tree.
