Cliff Screecher

"One of the few native species to survive Odina's occupation by the Dark Hunters, the cliff screecher has a rich mythology attached to it."

- Toa Helryx, World

Cliff Screechers are bat-like Rahi.

History
The Cliff Screecher species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe. The species settled on the island of Odina, making use of the high cliffs on its coasts to hunt for prey.

When the Shadowed One and Ancient arrived to the island with ideas of making it the headquarters of the Dark Hunters, they were unable to drive off or kill the Cliff Screecher like they were for most other inhabitants. They decided to simply tolerate the Rahi's presence.

Abilities & Traits
It is said that the spirit of a Cliff Screecher is not housed in its body, thus making it immortal. It is given its name because of the sound it makes as it dives for prey. After knocking its prey down, it will swoop down on it, catch it, and return it to the cliff face and then knock it off again and again, until the prey dies from shock or fear.
