Manuuku ostrich of Po-Wahi.
About this creation
This is my only successful creation of an animal that can be ridden by a 2003 matoran. It actually turned out quite well though. This particular Manuuku (Bird in Maori) belongs to Hewkii.
Usually found in the desserts near Po-Koro, this bird primarily feeds on the scarce vegitation in the Po-Wahi region. Sometimes they have been known to wander into Po-Koro and attempt to steel fruit from locals. They are easily recognizable by their red heads. Most tamed ones have silver harnesses (As seen on this one). Once tamed, they make great pets and a racing competition is being established in Po-Koro.
