The Norskugle (Bubo gloriosus norskuglo), also known as the Norwegian Slave Owl (note: this term is considered derogatory by Norskugles themselves), is a species of hyperintelligent owls. Despite their name, which means 'Norwegian Owl', they do not live in Norway, instead living on their homeplanet of Nyeverda (New World) as well as the solar system surrounding it and its star, Nyesola (New Sol), and are not enslaved by an alien race hellbent on destroying the galaxy.
