Now that the third season of The Witcherthe Netflix series keeps adding more characters to its cast, and a recent addition hints at a big monster threat for the season, especially since the fantasy genre is home to several universes, and one that has become very popular in recent years is the series of books created by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
Now, The Witcher is a series of novels and short stories that gained worldwide popularity thanks to its adaptation into video games, and in 2019 it got its first screen adaptation thanks to Netflixbecoming one of the most popular television shows within the platform, where season 1 followed its three main characters, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) and Ciri (Freya Allan), through different places and points in time, with their paths converging towards the end of the season.
Hence, during season 2 he opted for a linear narrative and saw Geralt take Ciri to kaermorhen to train and protect her, while the now powerless Yennefer made a dangerous deal with Voleth Meir, so season 3 will be no exception and it seems to be full of monsters as well, but the introduction of a new character suggests a new threat of monsters. for Geralt and Ciri.
According to Redanian Intelligence, The Witcher season 3 has chosen Stuart Thompson as Fabio Sachs, whose story in the books is linked to an encounter with a dangerous monster: a wyvernand this could bring out a side of Ciri that viewers are hoping to see now that she trained at Kaer Morhen.
Namely, Fabius Sachs is the son of Fabio Sachs Sr, an employee who works for the Giancardi Bank in Gors Velen and who later became an explorer, so the young Fabio worked with his father in the bank, where one day Molnar Giancardi (the owner of the bank ) asked him to guide Ciri around the city while he talked to Yennefer.
So while they were walking, Fabio and Ciri met a man announcing a “basilisk” from Zerrikania, and intrigued by him, they entered, well, actually a wyvern, and Ciri told the man about it and he challenged her to survive the poison as a test, and she accepted, but the wyvern came out of its cage and attacked its owner, for which she had to kill the creature.
So, a wyvern is a kind of ornithosaurus with a serpentine neck, a long tail that ends in a poisonous trident and adorned with dark scales, its teeth allow these creatures to swoop down from the sky, snatch their prey and carry it to their nest, and they take animals and humans with them, so encountering a wyvern in The Witcher season 3 would be a big step for Ciri, as she hasn’t fought any creatures so far.
