It is said that at times, someone can be born with two sets of teeth, two hearts and two souls. When they are cast out and die, their second soul, vengeful and corrupted, becomes a Strzyga: An owl-like demon that prowls the night, damned to survive only on human flesh and blood.

I HAD AN ALASTOR(or Lucifer bc i like when my birds flock together) AND/X READER IDEA
(Not specifics on smut, fluff or angst. Just a reader idea. Could go any way.)
So in mythology, there are strixs. They are like owls, but feed on human flesh and blood. Anthropophagics.
So, like Alastor, reader is a dead cannibal. While he ate adults, reader ate babies.
"In this Greek myth, the ill-omened strīx herself did not perpetrate harm on humans. But one paper suggests guilt by association with her sons, and seeks to reconstruct an ancient Greek belief in the man-eating strīx dating back to this age (4th century BC)."
So, reader ate dead babies, but didnt kill them. Their family killed, but reader only dined.
OR
"Like the lamiae, and succubi, they preyed upon unprotected sleeping men and children. With men, they turned into women, had sexual intercourse, then drank the men’s blood. To children, they offered their poisonous milk. "
Reader was ate then ate. Or poisoned kids.
So if it were a Lucifer fic, it'd be very RadioApple esque. Except reader is very into it.
But Alastor? Bonding over yummy tummy nummies. Killing together and feasting, reader hanging upside down from his antlers screeching.
"that cries by night, without food or drink, with head below and The blue portion? of feet above, a harbinger of war and civil strife to men"
The harbinger portion??
A little precognition. When reader gets hungry, boom! A precognition of violence!
"In Romanian, strigăt means 'scream',"
When reader is doing the precognition, it screams!
They could have a damaging scream! As a weapon!
"There are several examples of the strix's plumage, etc., said to be used as an ingredient in magic. Horace in his Epodes, wrote that the strix's feathers are an ingredient in a love potion, as has his contemporary Propertius. Medea's rejuvenating concoction which she boiled in a cauldron used a long list of ingredients, including the strix's wings."
Reader has useful feathers. We already have magic and hornifying Valentino mouth juice. Why not potions?
What makes potions? Witches!
"Strega (obviously derived from Latin striga) is the Italian term for witch."
Ozzie mentions to Stolas in Oops! that he doesnt do love potions, which implies that they exist.
Witches can enchant! Make potions!

A spooky flying scarecrow invented for of Curse of Strahd - perfect for hunting those pesky wereravens. The design for this monster took so much time to sort out, but I’m fairly pleased with it. Very happy that I get to have a hand in this reenvisoning of the module.
