Asio Bardwing was a tawny owl that traveled with Mad Maudie Mugsberry Thropple. He thought that Maudie was a magical beast, but seemed to suffer from short-term memory loss. Asio was good friends with Bungwen the mole and Log-a-Log Luglug. He had an Auntie Cordoolia and an Uncle Wilfrum.
Although not too bright, Asio was very courageous, to the point of being perilous, when he sacrificed his own life to save a shrewbabe, Dupper, from an adder. After he was bitten, he was under the impression that his assailant was a grass snake or a slow worm and soon died from the venom. The shrew he saved had his name changed by his mother to Asio, after his brave rescuer.
[edit] Trivia
