Ebon Hawk

Ebon Hawks are Rahi native to the Matoran Universe, although some escaped to Spherus Magna before the robot was launched. Some were domesticated by the Vorox, and are used in Vorox falconry.

Biology
Ebon Hawks are small, predatory Rahi that use their massive talons to catch prey. They have a beak that can pierce light armor, and their talons can carry objects much larger than themselves.

The Ebon Hawks are also known for being intense kleptomaniacs, bringing any shiny object back to their nest. Some Matoran have had their masks stolen from them by an Ebon Hawk that envied the kanohi.

One problem with the Ebon Hawk is that it should not be able to fly (much like bees), as their wings are too small to lift their massive talons off the ground. So far, it is unknown exactly how the species is able to take flight. Some believe that they can generate an antigravity field beneath them, but that is totally theory.

Habitat
Ebon Hawks favor canyon areas, where they can take refuge in cliff overhangs. They can also be found in jungles, but are less numerous. They build nests out of sticks, fur, or any other material they can find.

Trivia

 * The Ebon Hawk is named after a starship of the same name in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
