The owl character who appeared in Candy Crush Saga’s Dreamworld levels was Odus.
Odus was associated with the game’s separate Dreamworld mode, where he perched on a moon scale during play. The player had to balance matches of two randomly selected candy colors; matching too many of one color could make the scale unbalanced and cause the level to fail.
Dreamworld added a different rhythm to the standard Candy Crush formula. Filling the balance meter triggered Moon Struck, which removed candies of the relevant colors and temporarily changed the board’s conditions. The mode therefore made Odus more than a background character: his position and the moon scale were part of the level mechanics.
Dreamworld is no longer accessible in the current game, which can cause confusion for newer players. Odus is also easy to mix up with Tiffi, the game’s central human character, but Tiffi travels through Dreamworld while Odus is its distinctive owl mascot.
