==Origins==
Its Japanese name, ''ōkuchibashi'', literally means "large beak" or "giant beak"
All three Beakon types are exaggerated parodies of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacidae| Phorusrhacidae] family of flightless birds. More commonly know as terror birds, these walking hatchets possessed enormous beaks and existed as apex predators in the plains of South America roughly 2 million years ago in the Cenozoic era.
