I have no problem with Droolcup being the human host for our friendly
Giant, only with the previous suggestion that 'Cup himself is some kind
of apparition, which he's not.

Also *if* there were more kinds of spirits than just the owls, then I
would nominate the Giant as one example of a non-owl spirit.  A long
time ago someone suggested that he was a Douglas fir; I still kind of
like that idea.  That way owls might just be evil spirits, and when the
Giant says 'The owls are not what they seem' he is talking about someone
other himself, which is how it sounds.
