Nivawk

"I don't even want to discuss this one, no, no. The only thing that surprised me about this foul creature was that it had the nerve to hunt living prey, rather than just scavenge among the dead. If it were still in the city, well...though it shames me to say it, I don't think I would try very hard to save it from the Visorak."

- Rahaga Kualus, BIONICLE: Rahi Beasts

Nivawk was a large, hawk-like Rahi of an unknown species. However, it was not a dangerous predator, as instead of hunting, it would scavenge for food. When Teridax came to Metru Nui to pose as Turaga Dume, he used Nivawk to spy on his enemies. During the Great Cataclysm, Makuta absorbed Nivawk, along with Nidhiki and Krekka into his essence, so he could shapeshift into a more powerful form.

It was later revealed that there are more than one Nivawk, as shown early in BIONICLE 3: Web of Shadows, though it is unclear if Nivawk is the species name, or just the name attributed to the one that served Teridax.
