Arena Messages

Damage ranges from int(X/2)+5 to X+5 where X is the weight of the familiar.
The owl will attempt to attack every round. It will be successful ceiling(X/6)*10 + 20% of the time, where X is the familiar's weight. (At 1 pound, it attacks 30% of the time; at 42 pounds, it attacks 90% of the time.)

"Let's ask Mr. Owl" in the haiku is a reference to a classic commercial for Tootsie Pops, where a kid is told to "Ask Mr. Owl" for the answer to the question "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"
The maypole attack message is a pun on the Baha Men song "Who Let The Dogs Out".
The wax lips attack message derives from an Internet meme and image macro that features a photo of a snowy owl with the words "O RLY?" superimposed over it.
The Lucky Tam O'Shanter message refers to the fact that Snowy owls can turn their heads up to 270 degrees.
To make a Snowy Owl, you need to zap a Yoyo. This is a direct reference to "The Books of Magic" written by Neil Gaiman, in which Timothy Hunter, the World's Greatest Magician created a pet-partner owl called Yoyo, out of his toy Yoyo.
