Weka, (Gallirallus australis) a flightless bird endemic to New Zealand
Johann Georg Wagler's suggestion of the Ocydromus genus in 1830 to describe each Weka as a species was generally adopted.
After defeating a dragon like creature and knocking Weka Dart out of a tree, she has a frightening encounter with the shade of Brona, the most legendary evil from the Four Lands, and Grianne is captured by a party of Demons.
