**Tytodyre**, also known as **Nyrad** and **Dyre**, is a Ga'Hoole fan character created by OdelayOwl in 2014. He is a Barn Owl with overall light colouration and blue eyes. He also has a scar on the right side of his face. He and his gang of Pure Ones paint the ridges of their facial discs black as an identifier. He claims to have been born on the night of a lunar eclipse, but some owls find that dubious.

From 2014 - 2016, Tytodyre was utilized in the *Travellers of MacGreer* universe, where he was High Tyto of the *First Quadrant Northeastern USA Tytonic Union*, a small faction of the Pure One movement based in real-world US. He appeared in the main story, fighting Levi, Goth and some of their comrades, but also starred in his own spinoff, *A Clockwork Owl*.

In 2021, the character was revived and given a new role within the Guardians of Ga'Hoole universe, his gang appearing as the antagonists in *The Redemption of St. Aegolius*.

In his first incarnation, Tytodyre's gang consists of Dhaval, Dragon, Ernwise, Tylar, Jackal, Gabber and Malcolm.

In Tytodyre's second incarnation, his gang consists of Dhaval, Dragon, Magellan, Ernwise, Kess and Gowk.

## Description

Tytodyre has overall off-white feathers and a white chest, with the beige eye markings of most Barn Owls. He has bright blue eyes and a normal, pinkish beak. He and his fellow Pure Ones paint the edges and ridges of their facial discs with black paint or ink, making them stand out, which acts as a sort of symbol for identification. He bares more similarities to Barn Owls in the movie then in the books.

He speaks Tolvdom, a slang borrowing from Norwegian, Russian and British terminology.

## History

### Travellers of MacGreer universe

In his original incarnation, Tytodire and his gang lived in the real world, the setting of Travellers. He heckled Levi, Goth, and their army's supporters while they fought a war against the owls of the northern states.

Tytodyre and his gang all spoke a slang called Tolvdom, which borrowed from British slang, Norwegian, as well as from Nadsat.

### Guardians of Ga'Hoole Universe

Tytodyre's gang in his revival role is much the same as the original, although his relationship with Dragon is different, Malcolm is not included, and Gabber is renamed Digo. Tytodyre dreams of becoming the next High Tyto, but his band of supporters is very small.

In this universe, Tytodyre's gang speak Nailooh, or back slang Hoolian. Many key words in their speech are reversed to help mask their true meaning from outsiders.
