Owls were a type of creature that were avian and lacked non-sentient thought. Among the different kinds of owls were convorees and snow owls. The planet Alderaan, located within the Core Worlds, was home to snow owls in the snowy regions near the mountain known as Appenza Peak. The visage of an owl was part of the design of the helmet worn by the Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze.
The initial appearance of owls was in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Padawan Lost," which was part of the third-season.
