- "Otulissa had, of course, learned all the dynasties of the Northern Kingdoms, the great battles, the heroes, and the villains. She had memorized passages from the long narrative poem the Yigdaldish Ga’far that related the heroic adventures of the Great Snowy Owl Proudfoot and an Eagle Owl named Hot Beak."
- ―Narrator, The Siege, page 48
Proudfoot is a Snowy Owl hero of the Northern Kingdoms. Not much is known about them, other than that they were famous enough to have a book, the Yigdaldish Ga’far, written about their adventures with their companion, Hot Beak. In their adventures together, they encountered kraals to some extent, as mentioned by Otulissa in The Burning. Their gender is unspecified.

The Siege[]
Otulissa is mentioned to have memorized passages from the Yigdaldish Ga’far in order to fully immerse herself in the culture of the Northern Kingdoms for the Chaw of Chaw's mission. Proudfoot is mentioned as one of the main protagonists of the long tale.
The Burning[]
Otulissa mentions that she first learned of kraals while reading the Yigdaldish Ga'far, implying that Proudfoot must have encountered and potentially fought the pirate owls.
