<pre{{log2|margin-right=26em}}>This large, stocky '''owl''' seems designed for predation. Its sharp talons are only partially concealed by its feathered legs, and the hawk-owl's beak is comparatively small, but razor sharp. Coal black eyes are set deep in the great bird's mottled facial disks.</pre><br />
<br />
==Hunting strategies==<br />
* Giant hawk-owls are very susceptible to being [[critical|critted]], and as per, are easily [[stun|stunned]].<br />
* If the hawk-owl is still stunned and flying when it is time for it to attack it will fall to the ground.<br />
==Other information==<br />
When hunting giant hawk-owls, and wanting the best quality ears from skinning them, it is best to avoid the head and eyes for attacks; the neck is a very preferable aiming choice.<br />
<br />
The giant hawk-owl spear attack messaging uses the [[impale]] natural weapon table while the impale attack messaging uses the [[bite]] natural weapon table.<br />
