Egg

Hackatoo eggs are normally found brown, with darker brown stripes and covered with at least three rows of spines running down its length. It is said that Hackatoos lay their eggs in trees at high altitudes, where they remain attached thanks to the spines they are covered in.

Hatchling to Adult

Hackatoos have long bodies, necks, and tails with six legs with very sharp claws. Their most notable feature is the large bladed beak that they use to cut trees, this powerful weapon is all the more dangerous with the Hackatoo's highly reinforced spine to soak up the impact and strong muscles that let it dart its head forward like a drawn bow.

Titan Wing

Titan Wing Hackatoos are larger with blue bodies and orange wings. They have six legs and long, slender bodies. Their claws and spines are orangish-yellow and the bottom of their necks are purple. 

Abilities

Axe-like Snout

The Hackatoo is able to cut down trees with its axe-like snout. It is possible that its snout can also be used as a weapon in combat.

Firepower

The Hackatoo shoots ball-shaped fireballs, similar to those of a Rumblehorn, in a quick succession before charging again.

Weaknesses

The snout of a Hackatoo can get stuck into a tree if it's too thick. Since it is described to be reckless, it is supposed that Hackatoos can overestimate themselves when it comes to cutting trees, causing them to often get stuck.

Behavior and Personality

Hackatoos are described to be reckless and impulsive, often getting their snout stuck in trees, if they are not able to cut them.

Some individuals such as Cloudcarver exhibit understanding of abstract imagery, in Cloudcarver's case, this translates at shaping clouds into objects he has eaten. Incidentally, he also demonstrates that Hackatoos have a varied carnivorous diet.
