Bio: Groundhawks, also known as primal hawks, are large, flightless, pack hunting, predatory species of hawks native to Exotic Island. They are descendants of few groups of Harris's hawks that were brought to Exotic Island. They became larger than their ancestors due to the nuclear radiation. Their ancestors also managed to survive the nuclear radiation and became more terror bird-like than their ancestors. They filled the similar ecological niches of terror birds, unlike their ancestors. They are found throughout the lowlands, semi-deserts, rocky mountains, wetlands, scrublands, tropical grasslands, redwood forests, jungles, moorlands, bamboo forests, savannas, alpine grasslands, highlands, alpine meadows, temperate woodlands, rocky deserts and temperate grasslands of Exotic Island.
