Spoiler Alert Ahead, You Have Been Warned 😛 This is a Stryx… however you will have to wait a while before they come to roost in Krystara. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/6/60649df116fcb5fa7c34a27dc0edbe6f89d913c4.jpg) ---

He has 3 claws on each hand, 3 ribbons hanging from the front of his pants, and 3 belts! That’s three 3’s! Half-Life 3 confirmed! ---
