Dark fey (SciiFii)

The dark fey (Malitiaeetus daemonicus), also known as the giant eagle, is a species of eagle of the subfamily, Aquilinae, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout Eurasia and North America to help boost biodiversity. The dark fey is among the largest flying birds in history, having a wingspan of up to about 25 feet (7 meters) across, making it large enough to prey on animals as large as cows. Despite this, if does not prey on humans and domestic animals, likely due to genetic engineering to ensure no farmer or hunters get upset over the giant eagles, so the dark feys only prey on deer, peccaries, wild pigs, antelopes, pronghorns, and wild caprine bovids (wild sheep, ibexes, etc), making it fill the similar ecological niche to the mothman owls of nighttime, but is a diurnal animal unlike mothman owls to avoid competition with them. It is a solitary animal throughout most of its entire life during breeding seasons or if it is a mated pair with a dark fey of a different gender. The conservation status of the dark fey is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the dark fey's wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs, where it is known to prey on large city-dwelling non-human wild mammals.
