I feel the same about the Long Ear. I don’t think it would be my number 1 over all, if I had to pick one it would likely be GHO just because it is what I see when I close my eyes and think “owl.”

Long Eared is neither too big to be that scary nor too small as to be overly fragile. A lot of the great looks of the GHO, but with orange facial disc and sometimes orange eyes (orange is one of my fav colors), good moustache and plumicorns, and it’s actually social for an owl, so you can see lots of them together! The rugged individualism and shear power of the GHO again gives it a slight edge overall, but the LEO I think has a good bit of all owl positive qualities, yet is kind and approachable for a death machine. WFS has most of those things, but not the group activity, so still top 10, probably top 5 easy.

It’s not like I get shorted on seeing them of course, I just don’t make as many posts about them, so I don’t really lose out, it just perplexes me a bit.
