Eagles

The Eagles (also known as the Eagle Tribe or the Eagle Race) are an evolved version of the avian species of the same name, native to Earth. They serve as antagonists in the story. The Eagles shown within Penguins: Defenders of Antarctica are exclusively residents of Western Antarctica in the Marie Byrd Land. The Eagle Tribe consists of an assumed living space and employ a paramilitary organization called The Grand Army of the Eagle Tribe to participate in subverting the Beacon Hunt. The vast majority of Eagles belong to the Socialist Democracy of the Eagle Principality.

### History

At some point billions of years ago, the Eagles were created and lived on Antarctica as well as around the world in peace for many centuries.

Eventually, they were bestowed with intelligence from the Human Race and The Legend was imparted to them.

Following this bestowing, they rapidly industrialized and quickly formed a nation known as the Socialist Democracy of the Eagle Principality. They quickly adopted the worship of The Great God Hock and formed a theocratic society around fear of the deity. Eventually, they decided to hunt for the Beacon using the Grand Army of the Eagle Tribe. It is implied that the military is led by the Bleakbeak Oligarchy.

### Characteristics

Eagles stand about a meter tall and are hyper-intelligent. They have a white coat of fur and a long pale yellow beak. They have pale yellow talons and majestic wings. Most Eagles shown to be part of the Grand Army of the Eagle Tribe wear long red visors, gunmetal earphones, gunmetal chest armour, red armour plates, and rocket thrusters to enhance flight. Some specific Eagles also have machine guns mounted to their backs.

### Language

Some Eagles, such as Count Bleakbeak III, are fluent in the Penguin language. Currently their native language is unknown.

### Religion

The Eagles largely believe in a deity called The Great God Hock, a warrior god. It is said that long ago, Hock and the Eagles engaged in a conflict that left the Eagles as the losers. However, Hock spared them and instated a socialist government, mandating that so long as the Eagles maintained live sacrifice to him along with obedience to the Party and participation in the Beacon War, that they would escape annihilation.

### Factions

Various sub-factions are based here. Worshipers of the Great God Hock, the Eagle Principality are active participants in the Beacon War.

##### Grand Army of the Eagle Tribe
