Black Moa

The Black Moa is a fearsome subspecies of Moa Bird that somehow made it to the Echovald Forest. It has assaulted many locals and even hunters such as Zho and Nehdukah. Having once been considered a mythical beast, it is feared, respected and legendary among the Kurzicks. The tales of vicious Black Moa attacks are told to scare Canthan children to make sure they behave. The Black Moa is also the only carnivorous Moa.

Trivia

 * Moa is the name of a flightless bird in New Zealand that was hunted to extinction by the local Maori. The Guild Wars version resembles the Phorusrhacid, a predatory, flightless bird that once inhabited parts of South America during the Cenozoic Era.
 * In the Zaishen Menagerie, the Black Moa chicks use the skin from the Black Moa Chick miniature, unlike all other animals whose chicks use scaled down versions of the adult.
 * Prior to the introduction of the Menagerie, this animal could only be found in the wild and at level 20.
