Great Eagle

Great Eagles intelligent 10-foot tall eagles with 20-foot-plus wingspans. They are majestic and proud, serving the cause of good altruistically, and allying themselves often with humanoids that share these goals. Great eagles may serve as mounts for characters who solicit them, provided the character can prove their noble intentions.

This stat block can be used if a great eagle takes it upon itself to assist the party. The eagle often serves the party for a short duration, usually involving flying transit over large areas of land. The Great Eagle may also be used as a mount, if it is willing, but since it is intelligent, it doesn't have to "be a mount" to gain any benefit — it is big and strong enough that Medium or Small characters can ride it without having to command it.
