Eagle
Eagles are Birds of Prey, found mainly in mountainous areas throughout Azeroth. The eagle is a national emblem for both the human nations of Alterac (a single-headed version) and Lordaeron (both a single[1] and a mythical twin-headed version[2]). The Amani tribe of forest trolls also worships an eagle loa named Akil'zon.
Giant eagles are used as mounts by Frostborn and Highmountain tauren.
Harpies create vile rocs from cursed eagles.[3]
Biology
Eagle meat and eggs are suitable for consumption,[4][5] the eggs even being a delicacy among tauren.[6]
Their feathers are commonly used in taunka fortune-telling ceremonies[7] and to help with crafting arrows.[8]

As a hunter pet
- Main article: Birds of prey
In the RPG
These birds of prey inhabit nearly every terrain and climate, though they all prefer high, secluded nesting spots. A typical eagle is about 3 feet long and has a wingspan of about 7 feet. They are diurnal birds of prey. Eagles dive at prey, raking with their powerful talons.[9]
- Giant Eagles are described in appendix three of the monster manual, where the humans use them as mounts.

The Eagle Spirit near Anzu is the only known eagle to be present in Outland, but his presence does suggest that there are (or used to be) other eagles.
