What is the second set of eyes in Trico’s den? Is it his mate? Was that a baby Trico we heard? We believe this is the other beast that Trico faces off against several times throughout the game’s story. What does it all mean? Does Trico die as he flies off, alone and abandoned by his only friend? It is with a parting goodbye screech that Trico turns and runs towards the edge of the village, flying off into the night sky, new spears sticking from his back as he fades into the night sky. The villagers don’t understand what’s going on though, and to be honest, neither do we, but Trico isn’t safe in the village, so there’s nothing left to do but send him away. It seems like the end for our griffin-like companion, as he vomits up the boy, and watches as he is carried away. This is how the game ends, with Trico arriving in the village once more, less gracefully than his first visit we might add, and villagers crowding around him, spears in hand. The duo has shared an impossible journey, but now it’s time to return the boy to his rightful place among his people.

After a few moments of falling, Trico catches the wind under his wings and managed to make it out of the valley, just barely. As pieces of the blue tower begin to crumble, the other beasts falling from the air and off the side, Trico sets his sights for the boys home village, and then with a running leap, jumps into the air. After you beat the game, and destroy the Master of the Valley, Trico limps into the area and picks up the boy in his mouth.
