owly

In the picture Miss Elizabeth showed me the croc had little piggy eyes, not huge owly ones.

I had no right to be owly and disagreeable with Willie.

Perhaps nice isn't the best word for him, but he certainly was an unusually imposing and fluffy-haired and fierce-looking brute of a tarantula. He had rather an owly way about him, as if he had come out from his hole too early and was dazed and half-blinded by the light.
