Pokawi
"The Pokawi jungle fowl is a small, flightless bird of Le-Wahi with a loud 'pok-pok-pok' call. Pokawi spend their entire lives on the marshy jungle floor, hunting for edible insects and fallen fruits or seeds. When a flock of Pokawi is surprised by a Rahi, each hops away in a different direction, creating a bewildering explosion of sound and color that confuses the predator and helps the birds to escape."

Pokawi are small, flightless bird-like Rahi.
History
The Pokawi species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.[3]
In the Po-Metru district of Metru Nui, Pokawi lived in the rocky crags of the undeveloped sections of the desert.[2]
Following the Great Cataclysm, a population of Pokawi migrated to the newly-formed island of Mata Nui. Here, they established a habitat in the undergrowth of the Le-Wahi jungle, where they lived for 1,000 years.[2]
When the Toa Nuva intentionally unleashed the Bohrok, these Pokawi migrated back to Metru Nui.[4]
After the Mata Nui Robot was critically damaged in the Battle of Bara Magna, the surviving Pokawi left the Matoran Universe and immigrated to Spherus Magna.[1]
Abilities and Traits
Pokawi feed on small insects, fruits, seeds, and low-lying vegetation. Its distinctive 'pok-pok-pok' can be heard from quite a distance.
On Metru Nui, the Rahi were rarely faced with any predators due to their high vantage point. On the island of Mata Nui, Pokawi mastered a defensive technique against threatening Rahi, which entailed scattering in all directions and bewildering the foe with the sudden blast of noise and color.[2]
Set Information
The set Pokawi can be built out of parts from Bohrok Va sets 8552 Lehvak Va and 8554 Tahnok Va. Instructions were once found on the LEGO Club website.
