Dear OOO,

When you go down to the grocery store to purchase some fresh fruit and vegatables, under most circumstances you would expect your purchase to be at least reasonably fresh, wouldn't you? Likewise, where you to purchase a USB compatible mouse for your PC, you would naturally expect it to be USB compatible, yes?

So why is it that when I purchase a horned owlite shield, I am inevitably granted a shield that has absolutely NO HORNS?! Never have I witnessed a more blatant case of misrepresentation! This shield is clearly modelled on something closer to a barn owlite, compared to the iconic majesty of a true horned owlite!
I demand an explanation! >:U

this is VERY serious, a 3* shield is a BIG step, it should be exactly as stated; horned.

Just in case it needs to be

Just in case it needs to be said: Nah, I'm not serious.
I am, however, genuinely curious as to why the 3* shield was ever given the "horned" appellation in the first place. O_o

what a sad world we live in when ppl can't even read the opening post to see if their wikipedia link was already posted...

With that out of my system, clearly the Horned Owlite Shield is based on a baby Horned Owl, which then "ages" as you improve the shield. Adorable AND ornithological!
