Official Description
“ | This impulsive and reckless member of the Sharp Class is a master at collecting wood... so long as its axe-like snout doesn't get stuck in the tree it's cutting! The Hackatoo's crest makes it seem like it's laughing while it shoots fireballs from a distance in battle. |

Physical Appearance
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.[1]
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
Hackatoos that have reached the Titan Wing stage are bigger and they have blue bodies and orange wings. They have six legs and long, slender bodies. Their claws and spines are orangeish-yellow and the bottom of their necks are purple.
Abilities
Axe-like snout
The Hackatoo is able to cut trees with its axe-like snout. Its snout may possibly be a good defense as it is sharp and can wound its opponents.
Firepower
The Hackatoo shoots ball-shaped fireballs, similar to those of a Rumblehorn, in a quick succession before charging again.
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.
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.
