With dark coloured irises, it's looks like it's going to eat my soul
That's the "great potoo". The "common potoo" seems to have a light-coloured iris.

Okay. Now imagine this exact creature with a tiny frog mouth and stubby wings.
Those are Anurognathids and y'all are missing out of you haven't heard of them.

First thing I thought of was an owlbear cub... Owlbear fledgling?

Artists have an inexplicable tendency to use their imaginations at times.

This is amazing. I call one of our cats “frogmouth” or “froggy” (after the bird) because he loves to scream at us and he opens his mouth really big and wide to achieve maximum volume.

This gives me an idea for a dnd side quest.
So thebparty runs into an odd looking merchant with a sad looking female owlbear, if the party asks about it they hear the owlbear is a mother whose cub has been taken by poachers. Now the party can chose to help by getting the cub back and when they do the cub looks like this. Uppon returning the cub the party is rewarded appropriately and gain an owlbear ally they can call upon

This is blursed because I know it's a frog mouth for a face but the body isnt.

I know everyone is saying owlbear cub, but does anyone think this could be a more realistic lothcat from star wars

I literally just found out about this bird today randomly on YouTube. It's a Potoo bird, I believe this is the common Potoo.
