Northern White-Faced Owl, also commonly known as the Doctor, is a Friend that appears in Kemono Friends Kingdom.

Personality

“Hmm... I have an idea...”
—Northern White-Facd Owl's profile

Doctor Northern White-Faced Owl is perhaps the most learned Friend in all of Kingdom, and she knows it! She boasts an extensive knowledge of Kingdom of which she is proud; consequently, the very idea of not knowing something about Kingdom makes her restless. To this end, Northern White-Faced Owl is forever engaging in research tasks alongside her assistant, Eurasian Eagle-Owl, and is always eager to share what she has learned with others. The two owls inhabit and maintain the Library, serving as both librarians and archivists.

Despite her outward boldness, Northern White-Faced Owl is easily startled by sudden loud noises, and will reflexively puff up her feathers as an intimidation tactic in response; this makes the quiet Library a good place for her to be. However, she understands the value of not being cooped up all the time, and makes a point of getting out and about- a principle which she must frequently remind her aloof assistant of.

Self-Introduction

Japanese	English
?	I am Doctor Hooey, the Northern White-Faced Owl. I know Kingdom better than anyone. I'd be happy to answer any of your questions.

Relationships

Eurasian Eagle-Owl

Eurasian Eagle-Owl is Northern White-Faced Owl's trusty "Lil' Assistant", and can always be counted on to help out where needed. The two owls are frequently together, save for when they split up to cover more ground when collecting data for a project.

Toxicology Research Team

Northern White-Faced Owl is a member of the Toxicology Research Team alongside Eurasian Eagle-Owl, Indian Peafowl, and King Cobra. The group's mission is to help educate the Friends of Kingdom about King Cobra's infamous venom, with the goal of dispelling the scary stigma it has brought upon the caring snake Friend.

Strategy

Northern White-Faced Owl is a competent Catapult Assaulter who excels on stages with numerous enemies or against Bosses with multiple segments. When battling single-target Bosses, she can struggle to keep up with the damage output of the 6-Star Catapult Assaulter Serval, with whom Northern White-Faced Owl is often in direct competition for a team slot.

• Because Northern White-Faced Owl and Eurasian Eagle-Owl both function well against battles with multiple targets, and sport a powerful Combo bonus when used together, the two can be about as inseparable in combat as they are outside of it.
  • Additionally, Eurasian Eagle-Owl's ability to reveal Cores has great synergy with Northern White-Faced Owl's Breakthrough 1 and 5 effects, both of which boost her potential damage when attacking an enemy's Core or Cores.
    • This also makes Chinese White Dolphin, who can reveal Cores with her own Breakthrough 1 and 5, a great Support Friend for Northern White-Faced Owl. Using both of Chinese White Dolphin and Eurasian Eagle-Owl against a multi-segmented Boss can allow Northern White-Faced Owl to rack up serious bonus damage, if the Support Friends' Miracles used in tandem successfully generate multiple Cores and if Northern White-Faced Owl's Breakthrough 5 activates enough times.

• Because Northern White-Faced Owl's Breakthrough 1 and 5 effects only activate against enemies who have been unlocked in the player's Gallery, they will not activate against the Lord of Ice boss, who is absent from the Gallery due either to a bug or a lack of developer input.
  • Northern White-Faced Owl is generally not recommended for use against this Boss in the first place, if Serval is available.
