Red-crested eagle

The red-crested eagle is a large raptor native to Atlantis, probably the largest in the world. It was a spectacular predator, quite capable of killing humans if so inclined. The United States of Atlantis chose the red-crested eagle as its national bird and featured the bird prominently on their flag.

The arrival of humans and the colonization of Atlantis put a substantial strain on the eagle's populations. This included the hunting of the eagle itself and its primary prey species, the honker.

On his excursion to Atlantis, John James Audubon shot and catalogued a female eagle.
