The myth
This hawk is a MYTHENOR creation that joins two real presences of the forest. One is the harpy eagle, the great raptor of tropical forests that hunts high in the canopy. The other is Tupã, whose name means thunder in Tupi and who, among the Guarani Mbya, rules rain, lightning and the waters from the west. The idea of a bird that carries thunder from cloud to cloud does not come from a specific Tupi legend. It is the game's own image, born when the strongest eagle in the forest meets the voice of the sky in the storm.
Why it has this power
A level 7 rare, fusion only: Harpy Eagle of the High Canopy plus any thunder card. It rises from ATK 1800 to ATK 2400, with DEF 2000. It trades wind for the thunder element, as Tupã's messenger. Wisp and Crown are the same constellations as Tupã himself.
Did you know
The image of a thunder bird is famous among North American peoples; here the game reinvents it with a Brazilian bird.
