Wakize

:"There's no use! Even if a plane could fly through the storm, there's no way someone could navigate around the- WHAT IS THAT?!" - Agent ? , seeing Ryder rapidly descending on Wakize's back.
Wakize is a creation of Dr Moreau Ryder, currently being taken care of by UNWD agent Tahcawin Ryder. He is one of the six main genetic anomalies Ryder uses for transport.
==Biology and Appearance==
Standing at just about eight feet tall, Wakize is a raptor-like creature with a tough beak, leathery wings and soft pawed hindlegs. He has furred ears, V-shaped tail feathers and a short smooth tail.
Most of his body is covered in coarse fur, with his belly covered in a soft down and his back slick and tough like an otter's fur.
The backs of his wings are patterned with complex face-like markings. His body in general is coloured black, white and red.
==Behaviour and Abilities==
Mostly amicable, Wakize is impatient and can be stoic, refusing to behave or emerge from his habitat for anyone other than Agent Ryder herself. His behaviour is akin to a cat or aloof chicken, or even a spoiled horse. He is loyal and very protective of Ryder.
Capable of flying at high speeds with high precision, his main advantage is his ability to resist or withstand dangerous weather conditions. Sandstorms, lightning, volcanic smoke, torrential rain and high winds are no issue for Wakize, and he's even highly skilled at evading projectiles in flight.
==History==
He was one of Moreau Ryder's more beloved experiments, though he was also cast aside nearing the end of the doctor's experiments. For this reason, Wakize has somewhat of a chip on his shoulder, and was hesitant to rendezvous with Tahcawin and Akayake following their escape from the ranch, but trusted the girl enough to follow her to the UNWD.
==Trivia==
* His name is a portmanteau of the words Wakiya - meaning thunder - and Kize - meaning fight.
