Can’t select 0 creatures on triggered ability of The Ozilith
Note the word “may” in The Ozilith’s text below, which implies that the ability is optional, however I can’t tap “Select 0” when the ability triggers (for example, if I have no creatures on the battlefield at the time):
“At the beginning of combat on your turn, if The Ozolith has counters on it, you may move all counters from The Ozolith onto target creature.”
See attached screenshot for this exact situation. However, note that once the timer ran out, it proceeded without moving any counters to my opponent’s creatures, so this is mechanically possible to do.

All "may" triggers still have to go on the stack, no choice about that, and targets if nessessary have to be chosen for them. It is upon resolution, that you get to decide wether to execute the trigger's effects. So you have to choose a target for the Ozolith's trigger. When the trigger resolves, you can choose to decline. But you cannot chose zero targets, since one target is required.
