History

A frightful hunchbacked alien, Kryb is a Sinestro Corps member with a particularly ghoulish modus operandi. She only attacks Green Lanterns who have newborn children. Kryb instills fear into their hearts by threatening the life of their child and then strikes. After murdering both parents, she takes the child, putting it in her sac-like back.

She was first introduced in a tale told by a captive Lyssa Drak to the married Green Lantern couple and expectant parents Amnee and Matoo Pree. Lyssa recounts the tale of Jeryll, a Green Lantern who had recently given birth to a child. Jeryll's husband called her, reporting an attack on their home. Upon returning, Jeryll finds him murdered and her newborn in the clutches of Kryb. Terrified to see her child in the clutches of a monster, Jeryll's willpower fades and she is easily killed by Kryb.

Kryb then comforts the baby, letting her know that no harm will come to her and welcoming her to join her many brothers and sisters - all orphans of the Green Lantern Corps.

Lyssa concludes her tale, visibly unnerving Amnee. Matoo rebuffs her, stating her fables do not scare them. Lyssa tauntingly wonders how they will feel when Kryb comes to see them the day their child is born.

Kryb recently attacked a sector house in Sector 1111 in hopes of getting another child of a Green Lantern, but was intercepted by Kyle Rayner, Soranik Natu, Amnee Pree, Matoo Pree and KT21, officer of Sector 181.  Amnee flies into the sector house and rescues the baby before Kryb could get to him and the four remaining Lanterns smash into the sector house to fight Kryb, knocking the sector house out of it's orbit.  

The sector house starts to burn during the free-fall and impacts onto the surface.  While underwater, Kryb infects the four Lanterns with gas/liquid that she gives off.  The Lanterns are now under her complete control.  Kryb starts to fight Amnee, who wasn't in the sector house when it crashed, when Amnee goes into labor.  Kryb commands the other Lanterns to hold Amnee down while Kryb goes to forcefully take the baby from inside Amnee. 

Kyle is able to break free of Kryb's hold over him and releases the other Lanterns as well.  Kyle and KT21 go to fight Kryb while Natu stays to deliver the baby with Matoo's help.  The Lanterns are helped out by Miri Riam, one of the first new Star Sapphires, who was attracted to the battle after she sensed Kryb endangering Amnee and Matoo's love.  She helps take down Kryb, but not before Kryb manages to kill KT21.  Kryb became incased in violet crystal and was taken to Zamaron to be "rehabilitated" by the Star Sapphire Corps.
