The Balkiry is an aerial Badnik with an eagle motif. It was created by Dr. Eggman to serve as part of his robot forces in his efforts to conquer the world.
Overview
The Balkiry looks to be based on an eagle and functions as an unmanned high-performance jet. The red and grey metallic body has a wing on each side and a jet engine on its back, which makes the Badnik move on medium or high speed. The head has a pair of frowning eyes facing front and a yellow bird beak.
The Balkiry functions as both a spy plane and assassination drone. Lacking any real armaments, they will typically fly straight into targets, destroying it and themselves in the process.
