yeah, igris is of course amazing in every way. After all, he's based on a beloved dark-souls character and boss, and the master of the great grey wolf Sif,
Artorias the abyss-walker, who, when he ventured inside to stop it's spread and kill it's father, was consumed by the abyss after a point. As almost all creatures are corrupted eventually, even more so for one of a heroic spirit like Artorias
but Artorias, being the badass he is, even when he's barely a living zombie, actually has enough sense in him to speak and acknowledge his admiration and observations of your race's(humans) hidden strength and resilience, after you kill him ,
and then he'll pass onto you his duty of sealing the abyss. And long after that's all past, his now giant wolf pet( who he saved by throwing away his shield to guard the pup) now guards his grave, weilding artorias's huge ass sword in it's mouth.
It's all so beautifully metal.
Yes, i'm desperate to find any chance to talk about dark souls lore.
the lightning dragon(drake) and demon kind combo was also a dark-souls boss (with some pretty metal lore of it's own, though the rider wasn't a demon king but the rebel eldest and most powerful son of the king of gods, who rebelled against the gods cause he thought dragons were cooler)
