Twig is the third gunner unlocked in Owlboy. He is a stickbug who crosses paths with Otus.

Description[]

Twig is a prankster and a troublemaker who likes to dress up as a spider. He has a brother and a father living in Mesos.

Growing up, Twig had never felt comfortable as a stickbug, and found spiders cool, so he decided to become one. His family disapproves of this behavior, which pushed Twig to look for friends elsewhere.

He meets Dirk, who thinks his abilities would be useful to the pirate, and pretends to become Twig's friend in order to use his skills. Twig distracts Otus and Geddy during their patrol in Vellie, leading them to Vellie Cave and allowing the pirates to attack and steal Vellie's relic. They meet again in the Floating Continent, where him and Dirk are in charge of getting the third relic. Dirk then proceeds to unleash an ancient defense robot onto Otus and Geddy and dumps Twig there in the process.

Twig leaves Otus and his friends and reappears only to save Otus from an out of control giant mechanical snake. He wants to join him, but Geddy is angry at him for Advent and goes away.

The rest of the team reaches Twig's home, where he finds his family getting harassed by pirates. He goes to check up on them, and is ordered to remove his costume, revealing himself as a stickbug. Despite disapproving his tendency to dress up, Twig's family lets him accompany Otus and tell Otus to take care of Twig, showing that they actually care about him. From then on, Twig follows Otus around. He reconciliate with Geddy later on.

Relationships[]

Otus[]

Initially Twig saw Otus and company as fun adversaries to fight against. After being abandoned by Dirk, however, Twig quickly became depressed and latched onto Otus as a new friend.

Abilities[]

  • Shoots web pellets that can slow down or tangle enemies. Some are slain instantly but most are merely stunned.
  • Can grapple to walls or objects. Otus can't be damaged when Twig grapples to a wall.

Trivia[]

  • According to D-Pad Studio's Tumblr, Twig was revealed to be in his late teens.[1]
  • He sewed his costume himself.
  • He could possibly be an allegory for Gay/Trans people, with him feeling more comfortable as a spider and his family openly against it.
