The Eagle's sharp features give it a regal heir, striking, proud, fierece and stern in their demeanor. Eagles seldom quail before foe, and will fight to the death for their eggs and young.
Dislikes ----- : Eagles harbor a deep enmity and hatred for Goblins, kobolds, orcs, gnolls, ogres, and other creatures of the like.
Disposition - : Noble in both expression and deed, this creature is highly respected by most all of mankind.
Fears -------- : None.
Habitat ------ : This creature is found within many regions.
Immunities - : None. See: "Special Defenses".
Life-span --- : 160 years.
Likes -------- : Deer, Elk, Rabbit, fish and other game animals.
Needs ------- : Basic needs of life (food, water, shelter, etc.).
Note --------- : Eagles make their nests in the top-most areas of mountain cliffs to ensure the safety of their nests. They lay from 4-5 eggs each year. If a nest is found in the springtime there will be a 25% chance that eggs or young will be found within it (01-49: eggs, 50-98: young, 99-00: presently hatching).
Special Abilities:
Keen-Sight: At an elevation of one league the Eagle can spot a rabbit below if it successfully avoids vs. “Awareness”.
Special Defenses:
Flight-Evasion: This creature will have a 50% chance of automatically evading a strike against
it while in flight (this does not apply to area of effect attacks). Flight-Evasion does not work while an eagle is grounded.
Feathers provide a hindrance against attacks. If an Eagle is struck, its attacker has a chance of misjudging exactly where to strike (as the eagle will puff out its feathers, causing attacks to strike only feathers). The attacker must make a successful avoidance-roll vs. “Awareness” or be fooled by the feather-defense.
The Eagle can also evade attacks while in Battle-Lock and is considered at x2 strength when a foe pits it's strength against it to be free.
Special Offenses:
None.
Susceptibilities: None.
Weapon susceptibility: Rank-0 non-magical weapon to harm.
