The owl of wisdom which was mentioned in Heracles first book: Heracles and the lion from Nemea - Hippocoon land. It was white statue standing on a pole in the hall of castle Methonia. It was the thing all newbies who came to Hippocoon land had to face. At the time, they came there, a ceremony would be held by professors to wake up the owl of the wisdom. When the owl of wisdom woke up, its appearence would change that entire of its body turned in gold. Each newbie would come in front of it then it would look through his or her soul to find out the abilities gods and goddesses did give the person. When the abilities were found out, the person would know the place he or she belong to, Zeusa, Aresan, Athenena or Herathyia. Honestly, the owl of wisdom was talkative creature. It talked many things, sneered and even thrightened the newbies it met by it saying. It even stared at them by the enormous eyes. However, it had never harmed anyone a little. Sometime, it also gave some newbies praises as it saw great abilities the people get and turned proud to say something about their future.
The other ability of the owl of wisdom was to create a light shield surround castle Methonia. When professor Finn himself woke it up, it would ask him that whether he was sure and not to use the shield. As professor Finn said yes, it would few upon castle Methonia, kept fluttering at their for long time until waves of light spreading out from it covered entire the place. Later, it turned freeze in the midair and became a part of the light shield after that. The shield was the ultimate protection for people in castle Methonia front of intruders.
