Biology

Psychic power allows Sigilyph to fly. They never vary the route they fly, because their memories of guarding an ancient city remain steadfast, and they use their psychic power to attack enemies that invade their territory. Some say they were the guardians of an ancient city; others say they were the guardians' emissaries.

In the desert where Sigilyph fly, the ruins of what may have been an ancient city were found beneath the sands.

Design & origin

Sigilyph's design is based on the Nazca Lines.
