Tawny Owl is an owl who makes the journey from Farthing Wood to White Deer Park in both the books and the TV series. In the TV series, the character is known simply as Owl, a name which is also used frequently in the books. Tawny Owl is male in the books, but Owl is female in the TV series. Owl is a respected member of the group, but acts in a very pompous and cynical manner and is often critical of all the other animals to the point where she doesn't show any sign of remorse whenever a member of the group dies. Although she respects Fox, she often feels that he should have been elected as leader of the group instead, something that is often noticed by Adder, who enjoys teasing her about it. Despite this, Owl is very loyal, always helping the group in any way possible when Fox asks her to, although he does not like to be given direct orders.
