How did the "owls are wise" meme get started? They are specialized silent night killers. They are literally viscous assassins.
The next time I see an item called "x of the owl" I expect it to have +agi or bonus stealth or damage.

Owls have characteristics that make them able to overcome the perils that lurks in the darkness, and the difficulty of traveling through it, so they can reach their prey.
Now, darkness has always been associated with negative qualities, and in this case, with ignorance.
The owls (wisdom) can defeat the darkness (ignorance) to reach their prey ( the truth).
They have roosted in Serbia, they are aware of approaching time of coming which now is soon.
Owls are cool.

>they look like satan
>illuminati
when in doubt it's the illuminati
I'm pretty sure it comes from the old Greek legends
The real world reason is probably something boring like owls are nocturnal and wise people tend to be up late reading and stuff

It's because in ancient Greece, they were sacred to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and from the middle ages through the Victorian era, western intelligentsia has had a boner for ancient Greece. Most other cultures attribute either fierce or sinister characteristics to owls.
look at an owl, they have very "human" faces compared to dumb looking birds so naturally simplistic superstitious white greeks attributed them to being closer to human intelligence
