Talon is Mordecai's pet, acquired after the loss of Bloodwing.
Background
After killing Handsome Jack, Mordecai needed a new companion to compensate for the loss of Bloodwing. He can be seen holding a hatchling of what's presumed to be Talon in the credits.
Involvement
In Commander Lilith & the Fight for Sanctuary, Talon first appears when Lilith requests the Vault Hunters to check on Mordecai. Talon is found at Mordecai's hideout but Mordecai himself is missing. Talon proceeds to lead the Vault Hunters to Mordecai, dropping skag tongues as clues. After Mordecai is rescued from an enemy ambush, he and Talon were returned to The Backburner by Lilith.
Appearances
Trivia
- Talon's existence is revealed during the credits for Borderlands 2, but would not be named until the release of Sir Hammerlock vs. the Son of Crawmerax.
- Mordecai states he plans to give up drinking in order to raise Talon. This is reinforced by Brick in the Fight for Sanctuary DLC.
- Talon is somewhat aggressive, biting Lilith when she attempts to pet him (not that it stops her from calling him cute).
- In the Pandoran Gazette, it is written that Mordecai needs skag tongues to feed his bird, saying his mother loved them. It is unknown if he meant Talon directly or that he had the mother of Bloodwing as a pet before Bloodwing.
- Talon refers the blue hawk of same name in Prey, a 2006 video game published by 3D Realms & 2K Games.
