Is the beige thing on Noctowl's face a hornbill-like keratinous casque or just big feathers?

It symbolises two failed attempts at triforcing.

I always thought it was bony. If it is supposed to be feathers then that isn't communicated well by the design, since it looks detached from the rest of the face.

This elderly Noctowl's "beard" leads me to believe it's just feathers.

It's a horn. A pun based on "horned owls" (>>45656145).

Why did Marill turn into a rabbit? It's something prevalent in Gen 2 designs.

Same, I always saw them as feathery crests. They only started looling stiff and plastic-like in the 3D sprites due to the poor texturing.

I'll never understand why this thing was cursed with Normal/Flying when it learns so many Psychic type moves.

It's meant to resemble these >>45656145 and also while I'm just going off my instinct here I'm pretty sure the top of Noctowl's head was intentionally made to resemble the tops of many old grandfather clocks.

They look kinda like owls if you squint a little.

Same reason Golduck isn't Psychic-type either.

It still has clock features, they're just very subdued. It's wings are meant to convey that antique feel along with clockwork gears.

Many Gen 2 designs focus on being very subtle, and providing more naturalistic designs.

Noctowl being Normal/Flying is understandable, imo. Golduck, much lessso
