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 travellers such as Zho and Nehdukah. It is feared, respected and legendary among the Kurzicks. Capturing or killing it is the objective of the quest The Beak of Darkness.

[edit] Notes
- Tamed Black Moas are always level 20 and have elder status.
- Whenever you take a Black Moa Bird to the entrance of the Sunspear Great Hall, Nehdukah and his friends there will run away. The reason can be seen in the dialogue for the quest Hog Hunt.
- The Black Moa can be displayed on the "Fellowship" monument in the Hall of Monuments.
- There is no Black Moa miniature, but there is a Black Moa Chick.
[edit] Trivia
- Moa is the name of a flightless bird that, until it was hunted to extinction by the local Maori, occupied the country of New Zealand. In appearance, the moas of Guild Wars resemble the Phorusrhacids, predatory flightless birds that used to inhabit areas of South America during the Cenozoic[1] period.
