“Unleash the Power of the Celestial Eagle: The Ultimate Ally from the Heavens!”
Appearance: The Celestial Eagle is a majestic creature of immense size, standing taller than the average human. Its feathers shimmer with an ethereal glow, reflecting hues of gold and silver under the sunlight. Its eyes are a radiant blue, piercing through the darkness with an otherworldly light. The wingspan of the Celestial Eagle is colossal, each feather intricately detailed and glowing with celestial energy.
Behavior: Celestial Eagles are known for their noble and dignified behavior. They are intelligent creatures, capable of understanding multiple languages. Despite their ability to understand, they are unable to speak. They are generally calm and composed, but when provoked, they can be formidable opponents.
Habitat: Celestial Eagles dwell in the high heavens, soaring above the clouds and often invisible to the naked eye. They nest on the tallest peaks of the highest mountains, where the air is thin and the view of the sky is unobstructed.
Modus Operandi: In combat, the Celestial Eagle uses its powerful talons and sharp beak as its primary weapons. It is known for swooping down on its enemies with great speed and precision. The Celestial Eagle is resistant to radiant damage and has a keen sight, making it a formidable creature in battle.
Motivation: The Celestial Eagle is a neutral good creature, often motivated by the preservation of balance and justice. They are known to aid those who seek to uphold these values. Despite their formidable power, they are not aggressive creatures and prefer to avoid unnecessary conflict. However, when the balance is threatened, they will not hesitate to use their power to restore it. Their ultimate motivation is to maintain the harmony between the celestial and terrestrial realms.

Flyby. The eagle doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks when it flies out of an enemy’s reach.
Keen Sight. The eagle has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Snatch. The Celestial Eagle makes a diving swoop at a creature it can see within 40 feet of it. The eagle must make a melee attack roll against the target. On a hit, the target takes 14 (2d10 + 3) slashing damage, and if the target is a creature of Medium size or smaller, it is grappled (escape DC 15). Until this grapple ends, the eagle flies up to half its flying speed and carries the grappled creature with it. The eagle can only have one creature grappled in this way at a time.
