A typical
giant eagle stands about 10 feet tall, has a wingspan of up to 20 feet, and resembles its smaller cousins in nearly every way except size. It weighs about 500 pounds.
Giant eagles speak Common and Auran.
A
giant eagle typically attacks from a great height, diving earthward at tremendous
speed. When it cannot dive, it uses its powerful talons and slashing beak to strike at its target's head and eyes.
A solitary
giant eagle is typically hunting or patrolling in the vicinity of its nest and generally ignores creatures that do not appear threatening. A mated pair attacks in concert, making repeated diving attacks to drive away intruders, and fights to the death to defend their nest or hatchlings.
Evasion (Ex): With a successful Reflex save against an attack that allows a Reflex save for half
damage, a
giant eagle takes no
damage.
Skills: Giant eagles have a +4 racial bonus on
Spot checks.
Although intelligent, a
giant eagle requires training before it can bear a rider in
combat. To be trained, a
giant eagle must have a friendly attitude toward the trainer (this can be achieved through a successful
Diplomacy check). Training a friendly
giant eagle requires six weeks of work and a DC 25
Handle Animal check.
Riding a
giant eagle requires an exotic saddle. A
giant eagle can fight while carrying a rider, but the rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds on a
Ride check.
Giant eagle eggs are worth 2,500 gp apiece on the open market, while chicks are worth 4,000 gp each. Professional trainers
charge 1,000 gp to rear or train a
giant eagle.
