"The spikes, they are quite dangerous!"
― Wonder-Yellow struggling with a Hah-Gonay, Operation 004-A
Hah-Gonays are dragon- or dinosaur-like space beasts used by the GEATHJERK Federation Supreme Armada. Having evolved metal scales in the natural environments of their iron-covered home planet, Hah-Gonays are apex predators that not only use their armored wings to fly between hunting grounds, they can also seal their wings shut around themselves like a protective shield and launch metal spikes from their surface, allowing them to retaliate against threats in safety.
First encountered in Operation 004-A when Wonder-White joins the team, Hah-Gonays are uniquely defensive enemies that can only easily be defeated by preventing them from using their wing shield ability.
GEATHJERK File[]
A dinosaur-like space beast covered in iron scales.
A large carnivorous creature inhabiting the iron planet of Tahtahla, it shows signs of social development, often hunting in packs. Having no natural enemies, it holds a high rank on the evolutionary scale of its planet. During its development, Hah-Gonay develops iron scales through a chemical reaction with the iron in its diet. While durable, the scales also have a light and breathable design, allowing quick movement when capturing food. On Tahtahla, these iron scales not only protect Hah-Gonay but also serve as camouflage, obscuring the creature as it lurks among similarly shaded scenery during a hunt.
The giant wings on its back are mainly used during hunting. Hah-Gonay can employ its wings in several different ways, such as using them to cover its body as a defense against counterattack, or shooting thorns from their surface like bullets towards its prey. Not an adept flyer, it normally limits flight to travel from one hunting ground to the next and rarely catches prey midair.
Description[]

A damaged Hah-Gonay
Hah-Gonays resemble large theropod dinosaurs with an immense pair of wings on their back. Hah-Gonays are almost entirely covered in metal scales that are black in color, with the exception of an unarmored red patch on their chest and the dark-red inner surface of their wings. Like other space beasts, Hah-Gonays possess rows of flashing red dots all along the length of their bodies, and rows of red dots on the sides of their heads for eyes.
After taking damage, a Hah-Gonay's metal scales will start breaking off, exposing the creature's flesh underneath.

A Hah-Gonay shielding itself
The Hah-Gonay's defining feature is its ability to use its metal wings like a shield: the front edges of a Hah-Gonay's wings are lined with zipper-like, interlocking teeth that allow the Hah-Gonay to seal its wings together in front of itself, forming a protective barrier that renders a Hah-Gonay immune to almost any frontal attack. While in this wing shield stance, a Hah-Gonay can also generate spiky growths on the outer surface of its wings and launch them like missiles toward its enemies.
Although their wings also allow them to fly, Hah-Gonays prefer staying on the ground, and thus limit flying to long-distance travel rather than attempting aerial attacks. Apart from their wing shield abilities, Hah-Gonays also attack enemies by biting, stomping, tail-clubbing, breathing fire, and producing destructively loud roars.

The key to effectively fighting a Hah-Gonay is to avoid letting it use its wing shield entirely, as dealing with it can waste a lot of time and the accompanying spike missiles are difficult to avoid.
Unless it's busy performing another action, a Hah-Gonay may suddenly activate its wing shield if it takes too many hits or too much damage too quickly: what this means is that you should never rush in to attack a Hah-Gonay, and instead wait for it to use an attack of its own before moving in.
A Hah-Gonay's stomp and tail swipe attacks are easy to block and provide the best opportunity to counterattack them. Uniquely, these attacks have to be blocked multiple times before the Hah-Gonay is actually stunned, but blocking these attacks also staggers it every time, making it briefly possible to launch it using Wonderful Rising and allowing you to safely damage it for as long as you can keep it in the air.
A Hah-Gonay's biting, fire breathing, and roar attacks aren't blockable, but their long durations give you the opportunity to attack the Hah-Gonay without triggering its wing shield if you manage to get beside or behind it while it uses these attacks.

Easier than it looks, actually.
When a Hah-Gonay manages to activate its wing shield your priority should be to stop it immediately: you can either use Unite Claw and complete the button mashing prompt to pull its wings open, or you can run behind it to bait out its tail slam attack, which can be blocked to stagger a Hah-Gonay out of its wing shield.
Blocking a Hah-Gonay's tail slam is faster than using Unite Claw, but you can only reliably bait out the attack right after a Hah-Gonay activates its wing shield, otherwise it will likely just turn to face you instead. When you see a Hah-Gonay about to activate its wing shield, run behind it immediately to try and bait out the tail slam, and if it doesn't use the attack then go back to its front and use Unite Claw instead.
Unite Drill Spring will break on contact with a Hah-Gonay's wing shield and stun the entire team, so it's recommended to disable Unite Drill Spring in the UNITE MORPHS list in the FILES section of the pause menu before fighting Hah-Gonays.

GEATHJERK File No.023[]


- Location: Operation 005-B
The Hah-Gonay GEATHJERK File is one of the three Underground Items located in front of the aqueduct temple at the start of the level. It can be obtained before or after diverting the lava being poured on top of it.
Enemy Weapon[]

When killed using the correct Unite Morph, a Hah-Gonay will drop its Enemy Weapon: the Hah-Gonay Head.
Hah-Gonay Heads are 3 charge Enemy Weapons that spray a jet of fire when used, passing through enemies and igniting everything it hits.
Hah-Gonay Heads deal excellent damage and earn an outrageous amount of Combo points when used —anywhere from 2000 to 3000 on average— making them one of the most powerful Enemy Weapons, and they should be obtained and used whenever possible.
