After Soren kills Nyra, Coryn goes after the Striga, and Soren tells him to stop, but Coryn keeps going, and so the Striga slices one of Coryn's wings off, and Coryn later dies of blood loss. After the Striga cuts off Coryn's wing, Soren slices the Striga's head off with Ezylryb's battle claws. Since Coryn is dead, Soren becomes the king of Ga'Hoole.
The African witchweed, or Striga, survives by parasitizing the roots of host plants. It relies on these host plants for water and nutrients, which allows it to thrive in nutrient-poor soils. Striga produces a large number of seeds that can remain dormant in the soil for many years, waiting for the right conditions to germinate when a suitable host plant is nearby. This adaptability ensures its survival and proliferation in various environments.
