'''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==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
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.
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. The "M" on the center of its chest resembles the first letter of its Japanese name (''Mukuhawk''). The downward crest on its head makes it appear larger in order to frighten its enemies.


====Gender differences====
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.
A female has a smaller white spot on its forehead.


====Special abilities====
===Evolution===
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 {{type2|flying}} Pokémon such as {{p|Pidgeot}} or {{p|Swellow}}.
Staraptor evolves from {{p|Staravia}} and is the final form of {{p|Starly}}.


===Behavior===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)
Staraptor are highly aggressive and dangerous {{type2|Flying}} bird Pokémon. They often live alone, or with a mate. They are found during the day often soaring high in the sky searching for prey below. In the mornings and the evenings, they are found at their favorite roost, preening or eating their catch. At night, they roost high in their favorite trees.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Staraptor has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of all dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.
* 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 and {{p|Zangoose}} are the only non-{{type2|Fighting}}s to naturally learn {{m|Close Combat}}. Rather than punching, Staraptor uses its talons and beak to tear and peck its foe.
*Staraptor's Platinum sprite is similar to its Sugimori artwork.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Staraptor is based on an adult {{wp|starling}} with traits of {{wp|hawk}}s.
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====
====Name origin====
''Starling'' and ''raptor'', which refers to predatory birds. Mukuhawk is derived from 椋鳥 ''mukudori'', gray starling, and the English word ''{{wp|hawk}}''.
Staraptor is a combination of ''{{wp|starling}}'' and ''{{wp|bird of prey|raptor}}'' (a predatory bird).
 
Mukuhawk is a combination of 椋鳥 ''mukudori'' (gray starling) and ''{{wp|hawk}}''.
