Running Hawkites (走(はし)り鷹鳶(たかとび)) are hybrids of hawks and kites that like to charge towards hard objects.

Appearance

Running Hawkites look like ostriches with white plumage on their heads and black feathers over their bodies, with only their heads and beaks bearing similarity to their ancestry.

Overview

Running Hawkites generally live on arid plains away from human settlement, but during mating season, the males will participate in a "Chicken Race", where they charge towards the hardest object they can detect before jumping over it at the last second to impress the females.

Variations

• Winter Running Hawkite (冬の走り鷹鳶): Running Hawkites that inhabit cold, snowy environments.
• Super Hawk Kite (超突鷹鳶): An apex breed of Running Hawkites that sports a stronger charge.

Abilities

• Hard Object Detection: Running Hawkites have an instinctual ability to detect hard objects that they will charge towards.
• Speedy Running: Running Hawkites are fast enough to match the speed of galloping horses.

Trivia

• Its pronunciation in Japanese is the same as "running high jump".
