I can smell the thing. It looks like it could come crashing out of the dark forest at you. It's not reminiscent of its origins very much, but it's better. An owl's beak is small because its face is basically a sound-receiving dish that lets it hear things like mice rooting around in grass. And it's eyes are comparatively huge. So I imagine this colossal bear-thing as a nocturnal hunter, keeping the owl's keen hearing and low-light vision, and perhaps even keeping camouflage that lets it blend into the forest surroundings, and an owl's propensity for stealth.Imagine this ghostly thing moving silently, nearly unseen, through the forest. It is monstrous in size, but its movements are subtle...a tilt of the head, a slight twitch of the ear-feathers...until it opens its beak wide, issues a horrible roar-screech, and crashes through the underbrush at its prey.
