Nyra is a large, beautiful female Barn Owl, or Tyto alba, and presumed mate to Surtr, better known as Metal Beak. She is the Ablah General of St. Aegolius and considers herself Queen.
Nyra is the secondary antagonist of the movie, despite the fact that the movie is based on the first three books and she only made her first appearance in the fourth.
Description[]
Nyra is a very light colored Barn Owl. Much of her feathers are white, while there is light beige on her wings. The ridge of her facial disc is red, likely painted, and she has red marks by her eyes as well. Her eyes are blue with yellow surrounding the pupil, and the tips of her tail and flight feathers are colored red. She's much larger than most other Barn Owls in the film, and when enraged, her pupils glow red.
History[]
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole[]
In the film, Nyra was the Ablah General of St. Aggie's, which was owned by the Pure Ones, and the mate of Metal Beak. She is responsible for the forcing of young, kidnapped owlets to search for flecks, the magnetic particles she and Metal Beak plotted to use against the Guardians of Ga'Hoole.
She believed Tytos, especially Tyto albas (Barn Owls), to be the most pure of all owls, and took a great interest in Kludd, believing him to be a valuable soldier for the Pure Ones army. She picked Kludd and several other Tytos, two presumably being a Sooty Owl and a Grass Owl, and trained them to be as ruthless and strong as the Pure Ones.
She engaged Grimble in battle while Gylfie and Soren were trying to escape, and was unsuccessful at capturing them once she killed Grimble. When the Guardians infiltrated the Pure Ones' stronghold, she battled against them with her troops, though she withdrew from most of the fighting.
She engaged Ezylryb in battle along with her mate, Metal Beak, when he returned to the Pure Ones' castle in search of their leader. When Metal Beak was killed by Soren, she withdrew with her troops, leaving the body of her mate behind.
