Nyra

Nyra is a very light-colored anthropomorphic 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.

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 purest 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.

Nyra is a female anthropomorphic Barn Owl. She is 7'3, has C-Cup breasts, lovely hips, and glutes. Her wings are on her back, and she has taloned hands and feet. She wears a red dress showing her royal status.

Nyra was the typical "stereotype" of villains, and as such, was a cruel owl who dreamed of power. She was proud of her heritage of owls who were born on eclipses and believed Barn Owls were superior to all, though she knew when to conceal such supremacist feelings and permit exceptions to further her ends. She was also very manipulative and ruthless, though not as openly violent as her mate Kludd. Nyra had a special relationship with Kludd; she greatly admired him for his rage and strength, and she truly loved him even after his face was scarred; she thought of him as beautiful to her even after being maimed and she loved him more than his family ever had, and felt that he could do no wrong, serving him with fanatical dedication. When they first met, she sensed that he would be perfect for bringing about the world she dreamed of, a world ruled by the Pure Ones. Even after his death, Nyra continued to regard Kludd with a worshipful devotion, wishing several times through her plots that Kludd could have been there to see her now and eventually wearing Kludd's mask in tribute to him.

When raising Nyroc, she only saw him as a weapon and heir of the Pure Ones instead of an owlet who needed love and care. She was unfamiliar with the word love and acted uncomfortable when it was used despite her clear love for her mate, who she followed with an obsession. She didn't seem to know the difference between right and wrong because, in her beliefs, whatever the Pure Ones were doing was right and all of the Guardians' actions were wrong. Nyra holds a special hatred for the Chaw of Chaws, presumably for their roles in her mate's death, and, along with her vendetta at Coryn, held a deep-seated hatred for Soren and Twilight, reflecting Kludd's enmity for the former and loathe the latter for his killing of her beloved. Despite their alliances, she occasionally insulted Dunleavy B. MacHeath in her head and frequently expressed her silent dislike of the Striga, the latter of whom she intended to kill after they were victorious.

Nyra showed a sadistic streak on several occasions and seemed to enjoy taunting her enemies as she killed them, demonstrated by her doing just that as she killed Thora Plonk, suggesting sarcastically that her burned remains be served up to the Guardians as she shoved the Rogue Smith into her forge. Her murder of the Rogue Smith is also just one example of her vengeful side, as, though she intended to kill a Rogue Smith to assume her identity and believed trinkets such as Thora's were the best kind of objects to try to trade with Mags, the primary motivation behind Thora's murder was the Snowy's refusal to forge battle claws for Kludd.
