Asio Bardwing was an 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.
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
- Asio is the genus of eared owls.
