'''Staraptor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ムクホーク''' ''Mukuhawk'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Staravia}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Starly}}.

==Biology==

Staraptor is a grayish-brown, avian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a large bird of prey. It has small, red eyes and a thin, yellow beak with a black tip. There is a circular white patch on its forehead, which is smaller on the female. Larger white markings cover the front of its throat and chest, separated by a black ruff encircling the shoulders. A red-tipped black crest extends over its head, nearly reaching the tip of its beak. Staraptor is fussy about the shape of this comb, which it uses to appear larger and frighten enemies. It has large wings, five black-tipped tail feathers, and yellow feet with black talons. Its powerful wing and leg muscles allow it to fly effortlessly while carrying other Pokémon, small or large.

Upon evolution, this Pokémon leaves its flock to live alone, as it has become strong enough to take care of itself. It can be highly aggressive, persistently attacking even larger foes in spite of illness or injury.

===Evolution===

Staraptor evolves from {{p|Staravia}} and is the final form of {{p|Starly}}.

* Staraptor and {{p|Staravia}} were given their English names by [[Nob Ogasawara]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/DougDinsdale/status/1385988744528896000 Tweet by Nob Ogasawara (@DougDinsdale).] Posted on April 24, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGE3D7kcswY Interview] with Nob Ogasawara by [[TheSpeedGamers]].</ref>

 

Staraptor is based on the {{wp|white-cheeked starling}}, a common species of bird found throughout Asia, combined with a {{wp|bird of prey}}. Although it largely resembles the starling in appearance, much of its inspiration comes from {{wp|hawk}}s and {{wp|falcon}}s, particularly its predatory nature and aerial speed. It also has strong similarities to the {{wp|harpy eagle}}. The feathers hanging over its face are similar to the {{wp|long-crested eagle}}.

====Name origin====

Staraptor is a combination of ''{{wp|starling}}'' and ''{{wp|bird of prey|raptor}}'' (a predatory bird).
