MAKUTU |
-
Megadyptes
antipodes
sapiens
-
Committed to recovering her habitat lost to
livestock, and deforestation Makutu usually works with her comrades
in the IWG to protect the remaining nesting grounds.

With
only about 1500 breeding pairs left in the world, the Yellow Eyed
Penguin is the rarest of all penguin species. The
yellow-eyed penguin evolved in the cool coastal forests of New
Zealand where it had no natural enemies. With the arrival of the
first humans came Kiore (Polynesian rat), dogs, and later the
Norwegian ship rats, cats, cattle and sheep. The coastal forest that
was home to the yellow eyed penguin was burnt down or cut to clear
the land for farming cattle and sheep. In a few hundred years these
invasive species and human occupation took a great toll on the well
being of this penguin species.

Because her mobility is best in the
water, Makutu provides expert offensive and defensive seaborne combat
support to her IWG comrades who are committed to the land and shore
aspect of combat operations. Makutu is deadly with her torpedoes
which she launches off her back. Able to swiftly and covertly
maneuver in and out of the shipping lanes, her combat support role is to
target enemy boats and prevent them from landing human support troops
and supplies from engaging her land combat comrades. She often
works with Desmond, Moly and Odysseus in waterborne operations.
She loves working on her nests whenever possible and has become great
friends with Irra who she often shares home decorating tips and ideas.
Often paying the "straight man", she will work in cahoots with Desmond
to play practical jokes on the other IWG team members. She has a
great squawky laugh which can't help but crack up her comrades.
