The Saradomin Owl is a relatively weak unit, beginning with only 5 Health. The Saradomin Owl is a follower of Saradomin, obviously. Saradomin Owls have some advantages, despite their weak strength. Because the Owl is a flying unit, terrain such as swamps do not hinder it. One strategy is to use a Guthix Druid to boost the power of the owl, which makes it deadly to ground units that can't attack it. Once other flying units are summoned, the unit becomes less effective. It is also easily picked off by rangers and mages. Owls are a nice asset at the start of a game, because they can take down barbarians, or block choke points (like bridges).
