Height for Ground Creatures

What I'm basically trying to accomplish is a creature which appears to be flying, but actually isn't. Namely, I'm taking an Owl Scout and trying to make it a ground unit but letting it keep its movement height. The only trouble is in-game it looks like the Owl is 'skimming' the ground.

Is there a way I can get this to work? I've altered its Movement Type and it looks fine in editor, but in-game...a ground swimming owl.

make it hover, then it should be good
