Masked owls never fail to make me think of Wan Shi Tong from Avatar The Last Airbender. (probably because he is a giant masked owl)
"He who knows 10,000 things."
i think the masked owls have sterner expressions than their counterparts, so they always have a cold gaze. i love them very much.
thank you for sharing such a rare guy! =D

I wouldn't say there are a ton of famous owls in media, but the ones that are there all feel pretty memorable from their visual impact and they tend to be great helpers to our heroes.
The bay owls have what I feel is the most unnerving look, but they are pretty tiny, so that takes away some of their visual power if you have a sense of scale. 😁
Here is one with its typical expression, and also the scrunchy face like the owl in the main post.

Wow!!!!
I do love me a rare owl.
This one has the otherworldly character of a bay owl, but softened with some extra fuzziness to take some of the alien look away. It should be a bit larger as well. Little owls are very cute, but I want all the owl I can get for my money!
You were sold a bill of
