Nyonachila

Nyonachila ("storm eagles"), also known as nyontheeka, are mythological creatures worshipped by the elledran of the Chozult Peninsula. They are seen as guardians of cosmic order, and are depicted as inhabiting a hollowed-out space in the moon Cevonine. Carvings of nyonchila are placed in important areas to invoke their protection.

Nyonchila are possibly based on the real-life gryphons, or perhaps even dragons.

Elledran tales show the nyonchila swooping down from their moon-fortress to punish sinners, causing thunder by beating their wings, and casting lightning strikes from their breasts.
