Hayabusa the Falcon

Hayabusa the Falcon is Shan Yu's pet and the secondary antagonist from Mulan. He had his feathers burnt off by Mushu (although he survived, albeit bare and humiliated).

Background
Hayabusa is Shan Yu's pet falcon and sidekick. The bird often acts as a warning signal alerting China's victims that Shan Yu is near. He appears to be similar to his master: strict, ruthless and vicious. He latches onto his prey or whatever he needs to carry with his steely talons (as he did with Shan Yu's sword when Shang handed it to the Emperor).

Mulan
At the film's opening, Hayabusa is first seen soaring over The Great Wall of China, alerting the Chinese guards that Shan Yu and his army are attacking. Later on, Hayabusa collects a doll from a Chinese village. By analyzing the doll, Shan Yu and his Elite Huns realize that the Imperial army awaits them in a small village located in the quickest passageway to the Imperial City. The falcon later joins Shan Yu and the Huns during the snowy mountain battle and nearly stopping Mulan in her goal to defeat Shan Yu. Hayabusa later escapes the avalanche caused by Mulan and searches the snow for his master. Once found, Hayabusa settles down on his master's shoulder and joins the Huns in their trip to the Imperial City. During the victory ceremony where Li Shang attempts to present the Emperor Shan Yu's sword as proof of the Hun leader's death, Hayabusa manages to snatch the sword in his talons and deliver it to Shan Yu, who is hiding in the shadows. During a plan created by Mulan to stop Shan Yu and save the Emperor, Hayabusa attempts to alert the Elite Huns of the impending rescue mission. However, Mushu breathes fire on him, burning off Hayabusa's feathers, leaving him naked. He is then seen being used as a mode of transportation by Mushu. His fate following the battle is unknown.

Kingdom Hearts II
Hayabusa is a minor character that lives in The Land of Dragons World. Like the film he is Shan Yu's falcon and warning signal. During the boss battle with Shan Yu, the falcon is battled as well constantly attacking Sora, Donald, Goofy and Mulan.
