Gryphon

Gryphon is a dragon-like owl who ravages Pharloom, hunting for food and investigating sources of noise. It appears in Silksong's Bladesoul DLC as an antagonist to Hornet.

Appearance
Gryphon has an owl-like structure that is completely black. However, Gryphon's body is NOT made of void. It has silver-colored armor which protects it from extreme damage. It has dull green spikes all along its back and the same color for its talons. It has a darker silver color for its knees, head, and tail, and has an even darker silver color for its wings.

Personality
Being an apex predator, Gryphon is completely relentless and will go to any means necessary to kill prey. However, Gryphon is able to sense when it is in danger, as seen when one of its wings was lit on fire after it dropped Hornet in the Monsoon Jungle and was attacked by a group of Kyriton.

First Encounter
Gryphon's first encounter triggers after Midzyas has been defeated for the first time and Hornet attempts to enter Greymoor for the first time. During the encounter, the HUD will disappear. Gryphon's shadow will be shown flying over the entrance of Greymoor and after a bit it will land next to Hornet. She attempts to attack, but Gryphon fends off the attack, grabs her in its talons, and prepares to fly to its nest. However, during the flight, Gryphon drops Hornet in the Monsoon Jungle. After realizing its mistake, it turns around and tries to knock over trees in order to retrieve its prey. However, Two Kyriton emerge from the trees and attack Gryphon with a flaming cannonball. It then drops one of its feathers and flies off. The Kyriton then help Hornet and they eventually give her Gryphon's Feather.
