Hawk (Franchise)

Hawks are birds of prey that appear only once in the How to Train Your Dragon Franchise, in the game, School of Dragons.

Description
"Hawk" is a name applied to birds of prey of the Subfamily Accipitrinae and the Genus Buteo, depending on location. In some areas Buteo members are also called "buzzards", whereas in other a "hawk" is any daytime bird of prey that is not a falcon and not an eagle. Whichever the terminology, hawks are generally a little smaller than many eagles, and a little larger than many falcons. They are also characterized by a heavier build and broader wing suitable for soaring, as compared to falcons. A Hawk's diet is wide, and generally will take any small bird, mammal, or reptiles, and even insects.

Function
In the Franchise, the Hawk is only seen for educational purposes.

In reality, humans have tames wild hawks and other birds of prey to use as hunting animals in a variety of cultures, including historical Vikings.
