Reply to comment by 5inthepink5inthepink in Mothman sketch by Outrageous-Light3813

Back to both of you it kinda does have owl like features cause I always thought the Mothman could’ve been some huge owl or something as most cryptids or myths are real things just blown out of proportion And I do appreciate both of you as well!

Very interesting theory! I think you're right that from Bigfoot, to the wendigo spirits, to every other kind of cryptid, the concept would've been born from the original creators' own life experiences and observations. A big scary owl half glimpsed at night could certainly have been the inspiration for something as inexplicable and otherworldly as the mothman

I definitely made the owl connection, and I do think it’s the most reasonable explanation. I like that you worked that into the design!
