Biblo
CharacterBiblo is an ancient giant owl who serves as chief librarian of Elbaph's Owl Library. Through a Devil Fruit power, it swells the human-sized books that enter its domain to a scale giants can read.
Appearance
This enormous, elderly owl wears spectacles over weary eyes. Darker feathers cover most of its body, while the face, ears, and an alternating pattern across the chest stay lighter. Heavy ear tufts droop downward in a way that reads almost like a pair of bushy brows.
Personality
Very little has surfaced about what drives Biblo, which has mostly been seen roosting quietly in the library and giving the occasional hoot. Even Jaguar D. Saul professes to understand barely anything about the creature apart from the nature of its power.

Abilities
As the library's chief keeper, Biblo presides over all that happens within its walls. Lilith proposed that it had eaten the Iku Iku no Mi, a Paramecia fruit granting the ability to enlarge whatever crosses into its territory. Biblo turns this on the ordinary, human-scale books brought inside, blowing them up so that the giants of Elbaph can actually handle and read them.

How did Biblo save the Owl Library's books from being burned?
Before the Knights of God's forces set fire to the Owl Library, Biblo secretly gathered every book and hid them in a concealed chamber down an underground passage, where Jaguar D. Saul and Nico Robin later found both the owl and the rescued collection intact.
