These birds of prey inhabit nearly every terrain and climate, though they prefer high, secluded nesting spots. A typical eagle is about 3 feet long and has a wingspan of about 7 feet. The statistics presented here can describe any similar-sized diurnal bird of prey.

Combat
Eagles dive at prey, raking with their powerful talons.

Skills: Eagles have a +8 racial bonus on Spot checks.

Eagles as Familiars
Eagles can serve as familiars for characters eligible to obtain familiars including arcane engineers, hexblades, mind weavers, shadowsworn, sorcerers, and wizards. To do so, the character must take the Improved Familiar feat, and be at least a 3^rd-level caster. Arcane casters with eagle familiars gain a +3 bonus to Spot checks.

Eagles as Animal Companions
An eagle may be trained using Handle Animal. A 1^st-level druid, 3^rd-level outdoorsman, or 1^st-level ranger may take an eagle as an animal companion.
