Staraptor (Japanese: ムクホーク, Hepburn: Mukuhooku) (star-RAP-tor) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV and the evolved form of Staravia.

Biology

Physiology

Staraptor looks like a bigger version of Staravia, except that its feathers are now puffed up into a crest, its eyes have turned into sharp ovals with red pupils, and its comb has now flipped over its head and has red coloration sat the back.

Gender differences

Male Staraptor have bigger crest stamps then the females.

Behavior

Staraptor is implied to be a solitary Pokémon, leaving their Staravia flocks behind when they evolve, as they have gained enough strength to survive on their own.

Much like Taillow, they are also very aggressive and persistent, and never stops attacking their foes even if they are wounded.Staraptor are territorial and will defend their land with all of their strength. Even when injured, they will continue to ferociously fight back attackers.

Unlike Starly or Staravia, Staraptor are carnivorous, feeding on fish and small mammals. Their talons are capable of carrying smaller Pokémon all the way back to their nests.

They pride themselves on the arrangement of their head feathers, called “combs.” They will viciously attack those who dishevel them with the powerful Brave Bird. During their spare time, Staraptor can be seen preening and adjusting the feathers in their combs. During mating season, these combs are used to attract mates. Larger, glossier combs are considered more attractive, which is why they spend so much time fussing over their looks.

Natural abilities

Staraptor have extremely powerful leg and wing muscles that can carry smaller Pokémon in its claws.

Evolution

Staraptor evolves from Staravia starting at level 34 and is the final evolution of Starly.
