Ewald

Ewald is an eagle Legends of Chima minifigure released in 2013. He is the leader of the Eagles' Ruling Council and plays a minor role in Legends of Chima: The Animated Series. Ewald is also a playable character in Laval's Journey. 
== Description ==
Ewald has a piece fitted over his light blue head with eagle-shape features for a more stylized look. The helmet is golden with ridges on the sides that resemble feathers and three peaks in the back. A yellow beak is on the front and there are blue rings around the eye holes. Most of the face underneath is covered, but it is light blue with a yellow beak (which is covered by the helmet) and eyes which are sunken back in his head. There are various dark blue feathers around Ewald's head.
Ewald wears a blue robe with golden embroidery around an open chest and in helixes around the robe. In the center is a darker blue piece which runs from a CHI hole hanging off of the chest to a belt around the waist. It continues past the belt and onto a slope used for the lower part through to the end. The slope is also blue with the same golden helix pattern. On the bottom are golden ridges. Ewald's arms are white and hands are yellow.
A golden chest plate covers up a considerable amount of Ewald's torso. It spreads upwards at the shoulders and sticks out at the side of the front. Most of the front is flat, but a stud is placed there. On the back of the armour, two white clips are placed which hold curved, feathered wings.
== Background ==
Ewald is the head of the Eagles' Ruling Council. He is circumspect with planning both big and small things and toning them to perfection, which keeps him from finishing anything.
Ewald and the other Eagles were summoned for help by Lagravis during the Ravens, Wolves, and Crocodiles' first attack on the Lion City. ("The Great Story")
The Council leader attended the Speedor race wherein Furty cause mayhem in the crowd. When it's members turned against each other, Ewald fought a Bear using a wooden plank from the stadium. ("Foxtrot")
Following the capture of the Crocodile Tribe by the Wolves, Ewald represented the Eagles in the council of elders gathered to discuss the situation. ("Crocodile Tears")
Ewald and Eglor were in the midst of repairing the broken window of the library when Eris woke from her second dream of fire. They inquired if she was okay before she raced out to check on Mount Cavora. ("Attack of the Ice Clan")
On the night of Eris' second vision of a Panther, Ewald found her in the "completely ridiculous" section of the library screaming. He scolded her for yelling in the library before storming away. ("The Snowball Effect")
Ewald observed the second Illumination and the curing of the Hunters. He then began documenting it for the Eagle Library, though Eglor insisted that the book be put in the completely ridiculous section. ("The Heart of Cavora")
=== In Laval's Journey ===
Ewald is taken captive by the wolves when they attack the Eagle Spire and forced to help them reveal the Eagle chest-plate of the Triple CHI armor. He is saved by Laval and Eris after they defeat Worriz in an Eagle Interceptor and he sends them to inform Lagravis of the news. He later goes to Lion City and talks with the King of the Lions.
