Meaning of Strix

[JoshK]

Has anyone actually bothered to find out what Strix meant in Asuss product lines? Haha well I did. 
 

"In Ancient Roman and Greek legends was a bird of ill omen, product of metamorphosis, that fed on human flesh and blood."

 

In Greek it is translated to owl. 

 

"They are birds with long golden beaks that they use to suck the blood of infants, their favorite victims. They also have wings, usually red, and four black legs, all with clawed feet. Their eyes are yellow and round, without pupils."

Well I knew it had something to do with owls because of the packaging but I didnt know it went as far as Greek and Ancient Roman mythology.

Sure looks like it was designed to resemble an owl's face. (most of it at least)

 

and this is just a dead giveaway

Nice. I thought it was just like Krait, cool but meaningless. Or has Krait meaning too? Probably.

Kraits are a type of snake that have white and black stripes, hence the colour scheme of the MOBO
