Owluz

Owluz is the friendship ship between Luz Noceda and Owlbert (aka the Owl Staff) from The Owl House fandom.

Canon
Luz chasing Owlbert when she saw her Azura book is what led her to discover the magical world of the Boiling Isles, where she learns that the wooden owl is the top part of the Owl Staff that is owned by Eda Clawthorne. Who later uses Owlbert's winged staff mode to spirit her and Luz to safety. Through Eda as she trains Luz, she is able to see and learn Owlbert's other magical abilities, along with discovering those abilities for herself when she wields Owlbert in his Owl Staff mode without Eda's help for the first time. In the Owl House where Owlbert becomes part of Luz's new surrogate family with the others, she spends time with Owlbert in his active mode and rides him in his Owl Staff mode when she and Eda go out.

In "Escape of the Palisman" after Luz sees Eda give Owlbert a little scratch pet under his wing, that Luz finds adorable she asks Eda she got him. This gets Eda to give Luz a lesson about palismans like Owlbert, as Eda explains that she had made Owlbert from a branch of an ancient tree and how the two of them are bonded for life. Luz then notices the mark on Owlbert's foot that allows him to lock himself onto the staff. After Luz and her friends miss their ride for the game event at their rival school she besides to borrow the Owl Staff, since Owlbert's flying ability will get them there. Luz had accidently hit Owlbert's head on the Owl House and apologises for it before they take off, but because Luz had hit Owlbert like one would hit a horse she losses control of the staff and ends up crashing. Along with injuring Owlbert's head and flies away to the safety of the Bat Queen's nest where she protects abused and elected palismans. Since Luz's recent actions had also hurt Owlbert's trust in her. After hearing this as the Bat Queen who translates Owlbert's words through magic, Luz tells Owlbert that she had never meant to hurt him before asking him to trust her again, but the Bat Queen has Luz urn it back through trails she sets her. Despite Willow and Gus warning Luz that no one has ever passed the Bat Queen's trails, Luz was determent to get Owlbert back by amending for her selfish and careless actions towards him. So he can know that she does care about him and not just due to the fact that Eda will kill Luz once she learns that she lost him. Once Luz complete all three trails she apologises to Owlbert again for the pain she has caused him and promises to be more careful before asking the owl paliman to come back home with him, and while Owlbert does want to go back with Luz the Bat Queen wants him to stay with her and has Luz battle her as a fourth trail. Once Owlbert freed himself he flies to Luz's aid, who has just learned that the Bat Queen was once a paliman who now serves as the protector of the forgotten palimans like her. While Owlbert isn't a forget paliman and proves this to the Bat Queen when he tells her that he cares about Luz, before he nuzzles Luz's cheek and fetches the other part of the staff. Not long after they returned to the Owl House, Luz places a bandage on top of Owlbert's head to make him a member of the boo boo club and when Eda noticed Owlbert is not on the staff he covers for Luz by saying that he and her had went to get ice-cream. While the true events becomes their little secret.

Moments
Eda's Cursed Brush
 * Luz uses Eda's lipstick to draw an Owlbert-like owl on her hand and moved it in away that makes the drawing look like it is moving its wings. While saying "hoot, hoot" as she does so.

Hooty's Moving Hassle
 * Luz watch Owlbert play around of Hexes Hold'em with Eda, who beats the owl Palisman.
 * To get Eda to get the elixir she needs, Luz hands the Hexes Hold'em cards to Owlbert knowing that Eda would follow him.

Fanon
Like with Eda, fans love the bond Luz forms with Owlbert after "Escape of the Palisman" aired and continued to see it grow in the other season one episodes, along with hoping to see other Owluz-like moments in season two. Owlbert's Owl Staff mode could also have fans view the friendship between him and Luz as a cargo ship, since Luz has wielded the Owl Staff a few times and there have been fans who draw Luz wielding the Owl Staff or simply spending time with Owlbert. Because of Owlbert's owl form and Luz being a human who wields magic and helps those in need, it inspires fans to depict them as Cassandra and Owl from Tangled and other human owl duos for fun.

There are a few theories of Owlbert being handed down to Luz once she becomes a fullfleg witch, or that the palisman of her own staff would be modelled after him.
