Description: Resembles an alien cross between a humboldt squid and a penguin. They have a striking blue pattern and are up to 6ft long with a 9ft wingspan. Their wings are membranous with thin fibres stretchig through alowing adjustments of the feather like tips. They armed with a razor sharp beak and tentacle like limbs. Each limb ends in 2 clawed prongs which it uses to latch and hook on to prey. The jet like structure on it's tail is a symbiotic organism.
Behaviour: The hydro hawk can oftern be seen circling near the edges of kelp vine forests, gently beating their large wings. However once they spot a potential prey item they dart towards it using their jet releasing a stream of bubbles. They then rapidly circle their prey disorientating them before finally latching on with their claws to rip and then bite their prey to death. They oftern latch on to seamoths but quickly let go doing no damage. They are also warded off by other large predators such as stalkers which they will jet away from. Hydro Hawks will occasionally launch themselves out the water gliding for a short period.
Attitude: Aggressive
Biomes: Kelp forest, Mushroom forest
Spawn rarity: uncommon
Chronobiology: Diurnal
Resources:
Decomposing fish (common)
Hydro Hawk membrane (uncommon) can be used to make wind turbines and hydrofoils.
Hydro Hawk jet (rare) Can be combined with an air sack to make a powerful jet that can allow you to blast yourself rapidly in a direction.

Hydro Hawk egg (common) these are found at their nest sites located at the top of the giant table coral trees in the mushroom forests. They provide a great source of food.
Hydro Hawk membrane (uncommon) can be used to make wind turbines and hydrofoils.
Hydro Hawk jet (rare) can be combined with an air sack to make a powerful jet that can allow you to blast yourself rapidly in a direction, to restock the jet additional airsacks are required.
It just makes a bit more sense or they could appear in both.
Again please elaborate, as part of it's behaviour is built up around the trees in the mushroom biome. I just want to hear your alternative suggestion.
They look a lot like penguins and could dive in the water to catch prey with there jaws which means it would be easier for it to live and it reminds of how penguins get food.
Well if you think that with the morphology I've drawn for it that it would even be able to go up on to land then sure. But I have to disagree with you.

I think he's saying that they look similar to a penguin and thus it might behave like a penguin. He was suggesting that they could live in both the possible Arctic biome and the mushroom biome, underwater of course, since penguins don't fly but rather "fly" through the water. The Hydro Hawk, as you have said, would live exclusively under the sea.
I love this concept. It would be neat to see something like this in-game.

I like it. It should def go in a biome that currently doesn't have any aggressive fauna. I like the mushroom forest. While I think the kelp zone also fits I think it already had enough danger for a player and since it's a required noob zone for crafting prob should keep this to mush alone or mush and another later game biome.

Now thinking about it should stay in mushroom biome as it would be nice to have a day/night time baddie

Alternative design.
The creature isn't air based. It flys thrpugh the water much like penguins and ganets do using it's jet to provide additional propulsion.

How so?

This is what I was trying to say.
