The Winged Creatures are villainous characters exclusive to the Ruby-Spears Dragon's Lair animated series which serve as loyal minions of Sybilla in the episode "The Girl from Crow's Wood." Apart from their wings, the creatures appear wildly diverse in their designs, resembling various types of birds, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and dragon-like beings.
Sybilla, referred to as "The Bird Woman", sought to make the village of Crow's Wood into a haven for herself and her Winged Creatures. Although a wizard previously used his last bit of energy to banish Sybilla to a stone fortress, she maintained communication with her Winged Creatures and deployed them across the land to do her bidding. Sybilla's pet raven appeared to have direct control over the other Winged Creatures, and is able to make Sybilla's orders effective.
After hypnotizing Bronwen into impersonating Princess Daphne and stealing the Griffin's Stone, Sybilla sends her Winged Creatures to abduct Daphne's horse Rosemary, who is able to escape after being carried to Sybilla's fortress. As Daphne attempts to track her imposter, the raven leads three Winged Creatures resembling green snakes to corner the princess underneath a bush until Rosemary arrives to rescue her. After acquiring the Griffin's Stone, Sybilla and her Winged Creatures return to Crow's Wood, where they battle Dirk the Daring until defeated.
Trivia[]
- The smaller pterodactyl-like creatures which appear in Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp, identified on character model sheets as "DACARYII", have similarities to Sybilla's Winged Creatures, although these creatures appear loyal to Mordroc.
