Strixalba's Phoenixdex Entry

Strixalba always stare intently at any living thing that enters their line of sight, even if they have to turn their heads all the way around to keep watching it. Many people find their constant gaze unnerving and move quickly to get away, but the Strixalba often fly after them for a while to watch them some more.

Strixalba's name comes from strix, Ancient Greek for owl, and Xibalba, the Mayan land of the dead, but funnily enough "Strix alba" used to be the barn owl's binomial name (it's now Tyto alba). Huh.

Taxonomological shenaniganery is fantastic.
