Giant Eagles are ferocious birds nearly as strong as elephants, with one major advantage--they can fly. They are usually found in savage mountain areas.

Flight enables the giant eagle to zip out of the way of melee weapons, hover out of reach, and swoop again to pick off dwarves that stray from the pack. They will, however, try and escape death by crossbow as it seems to be their one true weakness and they can be killed by a lone hunter this way. Otherwise, they will hunt down and kill dwarves without remorse, tearing at their stumpy bodies with razor-sharp beaks.

Should your dwarves be unfortunate enough to encounter a skeletal giant eagle, abandon your fortress and start a new one far, far away. To witness its cruel devastation may scar you for life. If you decide that you want the evil bird to pay for its crimes, wait for it to fly in the air. Save the game then go to your raw/objects/creature_large_mountain.txt file. Scroll down until you find the giant eagle. Delete the entire "[FLIER]" Line. Your eagles cannot fly now. Go back to dwarf fortress and watch the evil eagles plummet to their deaths.

NOTE: Although the eagles cannot fly, they can still attack your dwarves!

The horror.
