📋 About This Mod
Basically was looking at the old mod i made back in 2018 for a few character edits, and seen i had the owl there. Well, why not? Having some other variants can't hurt. They are having the vanilla quality, which is perfectly fine in my opinion. Not exactly realistic, but i thought it could be a nice change. Especially as i can't stand the vanilla owl's look. At all. Spoiler? Do i really need to do this? Okay, well, this owl only appears in certain quests, and she can be found at Zoltan's place. Or Dandelion's? I didn't play this game in ages, just modding constantly. It's Philippa's shady owl form.
Just drag the file you picked into your Mods folder, and see that owl once or twice in your game.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight and simple—just drop-in textures, no new entities to mess with.
- Decent community traction for a niche cosmetic (80 endorsements, 16k downloads).
- Gives the quest owl a fresh look without changing gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects quest-related owls—if you wanted to change all owls, this won't do it.
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind.
- Last updated in March 2023—might be outdated if the game has had patches since.
For players who want a subtle visual change to quest owls without overhauling the game. If you're a completionist who likes customizing even minor NPCs, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or broader owl variety.
