Caucasian Eagle

Aquila, or the Caucasian Eagle, is the legendary eagle sent down by Zeus to torment Prometheus for his crimes. After it was defeated by Heracles, it became the familiar of Tisiphone, one of the Furies and castigator of murder.
==Summary==
The Caucasian Eagle is an automaton created by Hephaestus thousands of years ago from Celestial Bronze for the sole purpose of tormenting Prometheus]. 
After said Titan was captured and chained down on Mount Caucasus, it was sent down by Zeus to devour the god's liver everyday, only for Prometheus' liver to regenerate every night, thus allowing Prometheus' sentence to extend indefinitely.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, in Zeus' opinion), this sentence didn't last for as long as Zeus desired it to be, as Heracles was able to convince him to lift Prometheus' sentence, and the automaton was shot down by Heracles mid-flight by a volley of arrows. As commemoration for his son's heroic deed, Zeus lifted the eagle up to the heavens and transformed it into the constellation Aquila.
What no one expected, however, was that the Caucasian Eagle, having been feasting upon Prometheus' livers for centuries had gained sentience and slowly transitioned into a monster. Seeing the opportunity, Tisiphone, one of the Furies, decided to tame it with her Summoning Magic and transform it into her familiar in order to better control it.
==Appearance==
Despite being known as a giant eagle, Aquila appears much more like a giant harpy-like beast with bat-like wings wreathed in yellow flames, and its head looks like the skull of a prehistoric bird. While under the illusions woven by the Mist, it appeared as a large bald eagle.
==Abilities==
Aquila has the power to create immensely powerful gusts of winds by simply flapping its giant wings. These gusts are incredibly deadly, capable of slicing through feet-thick concrete walls or even through magical defenses. Like harpies and other avian monsters, it can launch razor-sharp feathers as long-ranged weapons in case its aerokinetic abilities cannot defeat its opponents.
It also has the power to shoot out beams of powerful supernatural energies from its beak, whose attributes can also be modified to better suit the situations. When infused with Tisiphone's divine power, it gains the power to project the target's hallucinations into reality.
==Trivia==
*In some myths, it is considered a child of Typhon and Echidna.
*The final arrow that killed it is said to have also become a constellation: The Sagitta.
*Prometheus' punishments is often confused with Tityos' punishment, which was identical but performed in the Underworld, and by vultures instead of an eagle.
