Physiology
Staraptor bears a resemblance to a cross between a large gray and white starling and a hawk. It also shares similarities with the Peregrine Falcon and 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.
