'''Kahu''' are hawk-like [[Rahi]].

== History ==
The Kahu species, a sub-species of the [[Gukko]],{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=2|post=42}} was created by the [[Makuta]] using [[Virus]]es and [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]] to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the [[Matoran Universe]].{{BookCitation|MGttU|63|entryname=The Makuta}}

When the [[Great Cataclysm]] brought about the creation of the island of {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}, many Kahu migrated there and established themselves in [[Le-Wahi]]. The [[Le-Matoran]] [[Gukko Force]] utilized Kahu as flying steeds in their fights against [[Infected Kanohi|infected]] Rahi of [[Le-Wahi]]. Some Kahu had [[Disk Launcher]]s mounted on their backs for combat purposes. Le-Matoran could summon the bird using [[Flute]]s. Kahu were launched by a [[Matoran]] with signal [[Lightstone]]s.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|6}}

1,000 years later, the Kahu migrated back to the Matoran Universe when the [[Bohrok]] swarms were awakened to cleanse the island.{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=34|post=1357|lines=5,20}}

After the [[Great Spirit Robot]] was critically damaged in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], many Kahu emigrated from the Matoran Universe to [[Spherus Magna]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=300|post=11964|lines=5,12}}

=== [[Kongu]]'s Kahu ===
A Kahu bird was tamed by Kongu on {{p|Mata Nui|Location}}. He mounted a disk launcher on the bird, and rode it several times in the [[Great War]]. When the [[Nui-Rama]] swarm attacked, Kongu asked [[Takua]] to be his second on the Kahu. The Kahu was later injured by an [[Infected Kanohi|infected]] [[Lewa]].{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|6}} The Kahu soon recovered and assisted Kongu in the [[Battle for Kini-Nui]].{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|9}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
A Kahu's wings light up with energy during flight. Kahu are strong enough to carry two Matoran riders, allowing for one Matoran to pilot the bird and a second Matoran to fire a disk launcher.{{OnlineCitation|MNOG|6}}

== Trivia ==
* The Kahu was, for a long time, not considered to be a part of the official BIONICLE canon, having been completely replaced by the [[Gukko]] bird because of a conflict of The LEGO Group using Maori terms (Kahu being a Maori term).{{GregCitation|OGD|page=95|post=3778}} It has since been reapproved by Greg Farshtey as a canon creature but a subspecies of the regular Gukko, along with the [[Kewa]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=2|post=42}}
* In [[Languages#Nouns|Matoran]], the word "kahu" means "hawk."{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=295|post=11780}}
