Gukko

"You should have seen the look on Nuju's face when we took off on the backs of Gukko birds!"

- Rahaga Kualus

Gukko were a large species of bird Rahi. Gukko birds were extremely swift, and generally peaceful though they would fight if threatened. The Le-Matoran on Mata Nui often tamed Gukko for their Gukko Force. Gukko were also present on Metru Nui where they lived in the tangled cables of Le-Metru.

Jaller and Takua rode a Gukko bird on their search for the seventh Toa to get through Le-Wahi.

Trivia

 * The word Gukko may actually have been an insult in the bird's language, as told by Rahaga Kualus.
 * The word "Gukko" was originally Kahu and Kewa. However, due to a lawsuit by Māori activists, they were changed to Gukko. Strangely enough, the actual Kewa and Kahu models were different from the present Gukko's.
