Name: The Crowned Harpy Owl Mutt

Description of Appearance: The Crowned Harpy Owl Mutt is one of the most spy like mutts there is. She's slim, 5'4 tall, with a grey, orange, and black spotted color pattern like a tiger, and a white ring surrounding the facial disc. However the crowning glory on this mutt is the feathers that poke up from her head that make the shape of a crown. Below this crown, are the hyptonizing eyes of the Great Horned Owl. Her claws are about the size of 7 year old's hand, being able to choke you if she get's her claws around your throat.

Abilities: It can crush or slash your throat with one clutch or slash of it's claw or beak, being able to exert over 110 pounds (50 kilos) of pressure with it's claws. On almost off it's body is a very strong toxin that can cause your whole body to go numb and limp as you helplessly watch it pick apart your numb and soon to be dead body. Finally, if you look into her over acute owl eyes, fear will immediatey produce in your mind and has camoflauge abilities.

Weaknesses: The Crowned Harpy Owl is not very defensive, as they attack in parliaments (A group of owls), so if one shot at it with an arrow, it would die instantly. This bird is also very senistive to fire and smoke, and will avoid it at all costs. Finally, due to the poison on it's body, it can go numb itself if it's toxin is over produced.

How samples were taken into consideration: At first, the mutt ended up too much like on bird or another. One too owl like, or one too eagle like. Eventually they figured out the right mix and went with the body that we have today. Then, another problem was brought up. It was dying from it's own poison after a day or two. This took about ten mutts to fix. Finally, they had the right mix for the body and poison. It's feeding habits (small animals and humans ofc), nocturnality, and flight pattern were all correct, resulting in the finished Crowned Harpy Owl Mutt.

Additional info: It can reach up to speeds of 60 mph.
