Talk:Giant Drill-Beaked Bird

Differences
In the manga ( 550 page 6) there is a completely different bird. If you count well there are 4 wings and two legs. User:Domynyk 18:19, Dec 27, 2011, (UTC)
 * I think it's just because of the drawing angle. --Ilnarutoanime -NejiLoverr- 17:25, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually it has three wings and a legs respectively 550, page 7. I think what you're seeing is the "after-image" of the flapping.--Cerez365™Hyūga Symbol.svg 17:26, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, in its first appearance it had three legs and two wings. In its second appearance it had four wings and four legs. Studio Pierrot posted the two reference sheets on their blog, now that it's been animated. FF-Suzaku (talk) 22:30, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

Implying?
Why is it implied that it is controlled by Pain? I thought we saw him summoning it. Derigar (talk) 20:10, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Summoning doesn't mean that the summoner controls the creature, Pain's summons seem to be completely under his control due to the piercings and rinnegan.--TricksterKing (talk) 20:23, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Female?
um...it lays eggs.... Munchvtec (talk) 12:45, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's an anime thing, I wouldn't take it srsly, tbh.--Omojuze (talk) 12:57, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah well, it still lays freakin eggs regardless. If Haku's gender was never revealed but he was called male in an OVA we would still list him as being male. no? Munchvtec (talk) 12:59, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Dunno, things are strange with animals. Katsuyu for example, has a feminine voice, but is not listed as a female (but that was credited for slugs being genderless (in a way) I believe).--Omojuze (talk) 13:03, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Slugs are hermaphrodites if i'm not mistaken. Munchvtec (talk) 13:07, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * If it layed eggs it's female...right? Panda828 (talk) 13:21, November 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, i added that it's female for now since no one else has said anything. Munchvtec (talk) 17:13, November 16, 2015 (UTC)

Name
In Naruto Online, this thing is called "Eight Span Bird". It's not much, but it's a bit closer to an official name than we've got, I was wondering if we should rename the page then?--Hawkeye2701 (talk) 02:14, September 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * I've pointed out it's been called Karura/Garuda in Blazing here. Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 might also have named it, since Animal Path was playable there, but there's very little combo information on that game online. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 06:15, September 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * I did not know, but if it's any consolation to the problem, Garuda (Sasuke's bird) is also in the game and his name is translated as "Eagle King" (Like I said, the translation is in places quite dodgey), so that would at least imply they have different names if we got that from Garuda and Eight Span bird from whatever. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 14:10, September 8, 2018 (UTC)
