Kuro (Ori and the Blind Forest)

Kuro is the main antagonist of the video game, Ori and the Blind Forest. She is a dark owl who seeks to plunge the world of Nibel into darkness and ruin.

History
Originally a mother of four hatchlings, Kuro went to gather more food for three of her babies that hatched. However when the Spirit Tree was releasing an immense display of light throughout Nibel for the Light Ceremony, his light was threatening Kuro's hatchlings. Kuro, sensing her children in danger, rushed back to her nest to protect them from the Spirit Tree's light, but was unable to reach them in time. Her unborn child was the sole survivor. Enraged and blinded by hatred for the light, Kuro proceeded to attack the Spirit Tree and the guardians that were gathered for the Light Ceremony, stealing Sein away. Without Sein, the source of light from the Spirit Tree, the world of Nibel withered and decayed, creating a suitable atmosphere for Kuro.

To protect her surviving egg from the light, Kuro hunted down the spirit guardians that may attempt to restore the Spirit Tree throughout the years that passed. Eventually she would come across Ori, the last spirit guardian, and sought to destroy him and prevent the restoration of the Spirit Tree.

Abilities
When hunting for Ori, Kuro is a force to be reckoned with. In a blink of an eye, she can kill Ori in one hit unless he takes cover in areas Kuro can't see or get to him. Being a creature of darkness, light emitting from the Spirit Tree can prove fatal to Kuro if she is exposed to its full power.
