"Airwatcher" is a dim-witted Dark Hunter who guarded the fortress of Odina.

Biography

Airwatcher was brought to Odina after two Dark Hunters arrived in his homeland. Upon arriving, Airwatcher attacked them, killing one. The second survived and brought Airwatcher back to the base. Once there, the Shadowed One managed to convince Airwatcher to join the Dark Hunters.

When the Toa Nuva arrived on Odina, Airwatcher attacked them, knocking Lewa to the ground and shooting Acid at the group. Kopaka froze his wings, and Onua used his Pakari Nuva to deliver a strong punch, knocking Airwatcher out.

Having been forced to relocate by the Rahkshi, Airwatcher and the other Dark Hunters moved to Xia and established it as their base of operations.

After the Mata Nui Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, Airwatcher emigrated from the Matoran Universe to Spherus Magna.

Abilities and Traits

Unlike the majority of Dark Hunters, Airwatcher does not go on missions due to his lack of intelligence. Instead, Airwatcher guarded the island, and is often used by the Shadowed One and Sentrakh to protect valuable objects, since they are the only beings he will not attack. Airwatcher is known to accidentally strike trees, rocks, and other Dark Hunters if they come into a territory patrolled by him.

Airwatcher has a pair of wings that allow him to travel short distances, and usually attacks targets from the air.

Tools

Airwatcher's chest cavity holds launchers that can bind a target with energy webs. The Dark Hunter also carries a staff that can shoot out acid to devour his foes.

Trivia

• Airwatcher was created by Adrien Perinet, sent in to the LEGO Magazine Dark Hunter Building Challenge, and was given a storyline role by Greg Farshtey in BIONICLE: Dark Hunters.
• The LEGO Group assembled Airwatcher with one of his lower wings flipped, causing the book photo to look slightly different from the actual entry.
