These owls have a different pattern, with a smoother texture. R-Snow Owls usually come in darker colors and hunt high in the mountains north and south of the Eden zone. Crowning the top of its head are four large antennae that give it heat vision capabilities, which through these antennae it can share with its rider. Its wings are incredibly long, and the ends are usually tipped with a darker color than the body, typically being gray or black, with the legs and head usually matching that color. Its face is wrapped tightly by tendrils of corrupted element, and its eyes look almost robotic in nature. It looks and handles similarly to an Argentavis, though it usually has whiter colors for camouflage, has a thicker body, and a larger tail. The Snow Owl is a massive owl that prefers to live in very chilly regions. R-Snow Owls can be found in the Eden zone on Genesis: Part 2. Perfectly accustomed to its habitat, it is for sure one of the most powerful predators in the Snow Dome aside from the massive Dire Wolf packs roaming the snowy forests. It's an aggressive creature towards nearly everything in sight, and can easily spot any animal in hiding due to its heat vision. The majestic and giant Snow Owl flies around the Snow Dome, occasionally landing to kill an animal or rest. Not only does this make enemies easier to see, but Bubo can also spot Element veins with ease, even when they're underground. The latter is helped by its tremendous vision, which it can share with its rider via its antenna. With its swift flying and frigid attacks, Bubo makes an excellent single-rider support mount or scout. However, these talons also secrete a chemical with a high freezing point to slow down their prey, and they can even unleash this chemical in a wide cloud, temporarily freezing their foes. They even hunt in the same way: by diving towards the ground to attack their prey with powerful talons. For example, it excretes waste in the form of pellets, which make excellent fertilizer, and their large wings let them save energy during long, silent flights.

Since it never strays from the patch of frozen tundra we encountered, I believe the Obelisk was the key to its survival.Ĭlearly a descendant of modern Strigdae, Bubo shares many traits with its smaller ancestors. Owls are remarkable creatures, but they're not the type that could survive an extinction level event on their own. Discovering Bubo chinookus was a pleasant surprise.
