Staraptor (Japanese: ムクホーク Mukuhawk) is a dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.

It evolves from Staravia starting at level 34. It is the final form of Starly.

Biology

Physiology

Staraptor bears a resemblance to a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. It also shares similarities with the harpy eagle. Staraptor’s plumage is mainly a brownish-gray, but has white coloration on its forehead, throat, and chest. It also has black coloration on its crest, neck, and chest pattern, and black tipping on the tailfeathers. The stylized "M" pattern on the center of its chest resembles the first letter of its Japanese name (Mukuhawk). The downward-facing, red-tipped crest on its head makes it appear larger in order to frighten its enemies.

Gender differences

A female has a smaller white spot on its forehead.

Special abilities

Staraptor have enough strength to carry a person on its back and fly to distant places. They can also fly at very high speeds, presumably around the speed of other fully-evolved Template:Type2 Pokémon such as Pidgeot or Swellow.

Behavior

Staraptor are highly aggressive and dangerous Template:Type2 bird Pokémon. Much like Taillow, Staraptor is a tenacious Pokémon, and never stops attacking even if it is injured. When Staravia evolve into Staraptor, they leave the flock to live alone. Staraptor fusses over the shape of its comb.

Habitat

Staraptor live in an array of habitats including open forest, grassland, wetland, mountains, and coniferous forests.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Staraptor have the strength and the stamina to capture and eat prey larger than itself. They usually pursue their prey in the forest using their maneuverability. Despite its predatory nature, it's occasionally found with the Yache Berry.

Trivia

  • Staraptor has the highest Attack stat of all dual-type Normal/Flying Pokémon.
  • Staraptor and Zangoose are the only non-Template:Type2s to naturally learn Close Combat. Rather than punching, Staraptor uses its talons and beak to tear and peck its foe.
    • Staraptor is also the only Flying-type Pokémon that can learn Close Combat.
  • Staraptor and its pre-evolutions are the only non-legendary Template:Type2s to learn Brave Bird via level-up. As a result, they are the only Pokémon that can pass the move on by breeding.
  • Its Pokédex color is Brown, despite being colored gray. Interestingly, its shiny version is brown.

Origin

Staraptor is based on the white-cheeked starling, a common species of bird found throughout Asia. It seems to draw some inspiration from hawks, in particular its predatory nature.

Name origin

Starling and raptor, which refers to predatory birds. Mukuhawk is derived from 椋鳥 mukudori, gray starling, and the English word hawk.

In other languages

  • German: Staraptor
  • French: Etouraptor - From étourneau (starling) and raptor.
  • Korean: 찌르호크 Jjireuhawk
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 姆克鷹 Mǔ Kè Yīng - Transliteration of its Japanese name. The last character means hawk/falcon/eagle.
