Grypht

Grypht was a saurial mage from the same tribe as Dragonbait. He was larger than other saurials and resembled an anthropomorphic triceratops. After most of his tribe were possessed by Moander, he travelled from his own dimension to the Forgotten Realms, using a transference spell to take the place of Elminster. This placed him at the centre of Finder's trial. He was attacked by Kyre who was also possessed by Moander, and trapped in a soul gem. When Kyre tries and fails to capture Akabar, the latter frees Grypht from the soul gem, believing it may house Elminster. Akabar is knocked unconscious during the fight. Grypht flees with Akabar for his own protection. However, Breck Orcsbane is convinced that Grypht is a monster who has murdered Kyre. A party including Breck and Dragonbait tracks Grypht and he is nearly killed before Breck accepts that he is not a demon. Grypht then plays an important subsidiary role in the battle against Moander, using magic to create walls of spells and free other saurials from possession. After Moander's death, Grypht remains with his tribe in the Lost Vale.
