In the previous update, 99 Nights in the Forest teased the impending arrival of a new threat. Players who explored a particular cabin in the snow biome found a board that warned them about a mysterious entity. It mentioned that this enemy was always hungry, hated sudden movement, and could turn hostile in an instant.

Now that the entity has arrived, you'll need to be careful while venturing into the snow biome. Even the Deer monster stays away from this particular enemy, according to the game's lore.

Here is the complete changelog for the latest update:

Where is The Owl in 99 Nights in the Forest?

The Owl commonly spawns near the Ice Temple in the snow biome. It can chase players while they are traversing the icy lands and even when they're inside a cozy cabin. Similar to the Deer monster, it is immune to all melee and ranged weapons.

The Owl's temper flares up if you keep moving while it has its gaze on you. To save yourself from its wrath, avoid using any movement keys. It will go away after a few seconds, after which you can continue exploring.

The Owl usually prowls in the snow biome, but it could also appear in the forest. Thus, the combined threat of the Deer and the new entity makes staying away from the campfire at night extremely risky.
