General Information
Like other dire animals, the dire eagle is a larger, more ferocious, more territorial version of its more common cousins.
A dire 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.
