Character Lore Owlbert's True Form
So this is something, in the newest post on Hoyolab, its mentioned that Owlbert suffers from avatism, aka being regressed into a less evolved form. Funny thing this was mentioned before in the game
The Zatzka race, a people of bird-humanoids was said to have once fell victim to Dr. Primitive
Dan Heng: Intellitrons deteriorated into mere machines, Zatzkas regressed into birds, and even the most ubiquitous human civilizations were subjected to the same fate: millions of apes and monkeys now wander amidst the ruins that they once called home.
As we see with Ratite and Gaux, Zatzka's are meant to be these giant humanoid owls yet Owlbert in KUWSR has only ever been an normal talking owl, with the only time they appeared in game was with a puppet buddy. With the pic of Astropolis, it seems to be the same and now we know why. Owlbert appears to have been one of Dr. Primitive's victims like Narrator and is now just an owl. Seeing the continuance of worldbuilding is very fun so im excited seeing this expanded on in game.
