Feral Nuclear Reactor?[edit]

I am Zero! When the bloody hell has Rawk Hawk has been refer to as the Feral Nuclear Reactor, I think some troll did that. I'm going to change that. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)

No! That is an official name, given to him by Grubba, the Glitz Pit manager. Don't change that. - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 17:49, 26 September 2009 (EDT)
I am Zero! I just checked the quotes both Grubba and Rawk Hawk say, and there is nothing that said he is refered as the Feral Nuclear Reactor, and I don't remember Rawk Hawk being called like that, I have the game. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)
I have the game too, and it's my alltime favourite. Grubba calls Rawk Hawk like that before the title match. Here's your proof: feralnuclearreactor.png - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 18:17, 26 September 2009 (EDT)
I am Zero! Ahhhhh, I remember that part, why isn't it in the quotes of PMTTYD? Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk)
I don't know, but now it is. - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 19:14, 26 September 2009 (EDT)

How is this article earned the status of feature if a section needs to be rewritten? Garlic Stapler (talk)

Race[edit]

Does anyone know to what race Rawk Hawk belongs? It doesn't say in the article. I'm compiling information for a roleplaying game, and I need to know where to put him. Twentydragon 18:23, 10 March 2011 (EST)

I don't know for sure, but to me Rawk Hawk looks like some kind of bird. And as his name says, he could be a flightless hawk of some sort. Tails777 (talk)

It seems to me he's a character of himself with no other known members of a species to date. Sorta like...hmm....can't think of an example. Blue PiantaBowser's lumaArtwork of a Koopa Paratroopa in  New Super Mario Bros. (later used in Mario Super Sluggers, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Run)
Like Flurrie? Twentydragon 18:40, 10 March 2011 (EST)
We could just call him a hawk until we find the real name of his species. We could just put that citation needed sign behind it.Tails777 (talk)

Trivia[edit]

Wondering why my edits were reversed? Even if changing around the order of trivia section wasn't thought to be appropriate, the real wrestler Hawk started his career in the early 80's and continued until the 2000s, so the reference to Hawk "existing" in the 70's is kind of ridiculous.Perrynormal (talk)

Strange edit[edit]

This edit change "leads" to "lea s" in the tattle text, but I checked the PMTTYD text dump and it said "leads" was right. Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 09:58, 24 February 2015 (EST)

It was probably just a typo/glitch: another non-quotation word had a similar thing happen to it in that same edit. I fixed it. - Walkazo 10:31, 24 February 2015 (EST)
Typo? Oh, sorry, I didn't know he was retyping the whole thing. Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 20:52, 27 February 2015 (EST)

Adding a section[edit]

Someone can add the "Appearance" section?Thiago200002 (talk)

Is Rawk Hawk Craw-inspired?[edit]

? Block from Super Mario World This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Thanks to a discussion with friends on Discord, I realized that Rawk Hawk may in fact be a Craw / inspired by them. I feel like this should be mentioned on his page somewhere.

Both Craws and Rawk Hawk…

  • Are based on birds
  • Have similar beak shapes
  • Have similar cheeks
  • Have tails
  • Have similar eye shapes (albeit Rawk Hawk's seem to be connected while the others don't)
  • Wear armbands
  • Are topless and wear shorts / underwear / whatever you call those things

Rawk Hawk also has that thing around his neck which could be comparable to the scarves Craws wear.

Edit: It's not clear whether the white things at the back of Craws and Dark Claws' heads are meant to be feathers or just a part of their bandannas, but if they are feathers, it matches the one Rawk Hawk has.

Basically, Rawk Hawk is just a super buff Craw(-like species). Technetium (talk) 12:07, August 27, 2025 (EDT)

This is a massive stretch. Rawk Hawk and Craws look nothing alike. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 08:51, August 29, 2025 (EDT)
I can see the resemblance myself and believe he was actually referred to a Craw on this very wiki at one point. I assume it was removed due to being too speculative. PaperSplash (talk) 19:27, September 6, 2025 (EDT)
We could add an Appearance section and mention him looking similar to Craws there. Doesn't have to be a definitive thing in the infobox. Technetium (talk) 19:33, September 6, 2025 (EDT)
IMO, this feels like comparing the Glitzville reporter to a Pianta just for being bottom-heavy and plantish-topped. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:06, September 6, 2025 (EDT)
