Duolingo is a language learning app and its mascot, Duo, is this cute green owl who reminds you daily to use the app. According to Know Your Meme, the Evil Duolingo Owl is "a series of parodies of the mascot for the language learning application Duolingo. In these memes, Duo, the Duolingo owl, is a dangerous teacher, who threatens users when they do not use the application." Here is the original meme created back in 2017.
However, on March 26, the meme started trending after Duolingo posted this ominous tweet.

the duolingo owl is a war killing machine. he will obliterate anything and anyone in his path. he will destroy everything he comes into contact with, and won't dare to stop until the blood of everyone who failed to complete their daily spanish lessons is smeared across the globe. https://t.co/ueL9cgKXG2
