Dire Eagle (3.5e Monster)

Dire Eagle
These birds of prey inhabit nearly every terrain and climate, though they all prefer high, secluded nesting spots.

A typical dire eagle is about 5 feet long and has a wingspan of about 12 feet. The statistics presented here can describe any similar-sized, bird of prey (dire hawk & dire owl, namely).

Strategies and Tactics
Dire eagles are all about the hit and run tactics. They often start a fight out with a sonic dive, stunning a target, which causes the target to drop their weapons. The eagle then tries to beat the crap out of the target, using talon swipes and pecks.

Treasure
The eyes of a dire eagle can be used to make Prophetic Salve. They provide the gold cost and experience cost required to craft the item.

Dire eagle eyes are valued at 600 gp on the open market.
