Apperance[]
- Voice actor: Yūji Ueda (both English and Japanese)
Noctowl looks much like a 'normal' owl, with a brown coloring and a triangle pattern of a darker shade of brown running down its chest. Its wings and wedge-shaped tail are dark brown like the pattern on its chest, although the underside of its wings is the same light brown as most of its body. It has bushy, cream-colored feather 'horns' that look similar to a trident or eyebrows. The ring pattern around its eyes and its talons are cream in coloration, and Noctowl's beak and the nails of its talons are light pink. Additionally, Noctowl's irises are red. Its height is 5'03" and weight is 89.9 lbs.
Judging by Wings Alexander's Noctowl, elderly Noctowl are distinguished by a pale, shaggy beard-like growth beneath the chin.
