Few animals radiate the strength and majesty of birds of prey. They're fast, powerful, intelligent and look intense, netting them a spot right at the top of both the food chain and the minds of people worldwide. From Roman symbols through medieval heraldry right to the forefront of American cultural symbols, they have almost always had a proud and noble reputation. Whether a character in their own right or a symbol of the strength of another, raptors are not to be sneered at. Though always considered powerful and usually majestic, certain birds have their own special attributes as well. Eagles, for instance, are associated with power, royalty and empire while hawks represent aggression even in the English language itself. Of course, being symbols of pride and power is not always a positive thing: They can also be portrayed as cruel or merciless, this portrayal being commonly attributed to falcons. If they appear in a Funny Animals setting you can expect them to be among the most badass members of the cast and with a fearsome reputation. In a world with only humans, they may appear with the real world usage of heraldry or perhaps utilized by a Warrior Prince. Two-headed eagles, historically the symbol of several historical empires, are particularly associated with heraldry, empires and royalty. Compare Divine Birds. Contrast Feathered Fiend and Brutal Bird of Prey for more atrocious avians. See Giant Flyer for enormous birds. It should also be noted that, while owls and vultures are also considered birds of prey, they usually have different connotations in fiction. Only add examples pertaining to them here if they fit the "noble, majestic, badass hero" stereotype. See American Eagle for a specific kind of bird often portrayed this way. For owls with positive connotations, see Cute Owl and The Owl-Knowing One. Compare Doves Mean Peace. |

Prehistoric Park Reimagined: Whilst many birds of prey appear, Hannibal and Imilce the argentavis pair, in a rare vulture example, are the straightest examples of this trope - whilst they are fierce and menacing, they are portrayed in a sympathetic light, with Hannibal bonding with Collete Dubois and playing a heroic role in the Phase One finale. | |

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Sveta claims that the colossal, vulture-like Mountain Roc is a noble symbol of the kingdom of Morgal, and it would be sacrilege to pluck its feathers for a flying machine per the protagonists' mission. It's possible that Sveta is bluffing, as she knows the Roc's gizzard stone is the Magma Orb needed to power Luna Tower and so wants our heroes to stay away from it altogether. | |

Discworld: In Small Gods, the crowd at the Place of Lamentation in the Omnian Citadel believe in this, and get very excited when a particularly noble-looking eagle perches itself atop a statue; they discuss whether it is a sign (not a sign of anything, just a sign in general), or a messenger from the Great God Om, or possibly the god himself. Om, who is nearby, is not happy, as he's currently a tortoise and eagles are one of his few natural predators; he sneers that it's just a "better-looking turkey" with a brain the size of a walnut. In Lords and Ladies, Lady Jane the gyrfalcon takes down one of The Fair Folk. The elf in question had ordered her to kill Hodgesaargh, the falconer, without realizing just how vicious and how prone to attacking the closest person available — including her would-be falconer — she was. She immediately went for the elf's throat. Subverted in the same book with the wowhawk (like a goshawk, but less so) which is the most unassuming bird of prey in existence. It hates flying and has been known to faint at the sight of blood. |

World of Warcraft: Hunters can tame eagles as pets. They come with the racial ability Snatch, which damages and disarms targets for six seconds, very handy for fighting humanoids and other weapon-wielding foes, and even some raid bosses. Druids have the ability to turn into Storm Crows (except Trolls, who turn into bats instead). |

Tolkien's Legendarium: A flock of giant eagles are the messengers of Manwë. Being possibly Maiar would make them immortal, and at least one of them (Gwaihir) was listed as being alive in both the First and Third Ages, thousands of years apart. In their appearance in The Hobbit, they apparently take great pleasure in messing with Goblins' and Worgs' evil plans and later join the Dwarves, Men, and Elves in fighting them at the Battle of the Five Armies. At the end, the Lord of the Eagles (who may or may not be Gwaihir) was described as becoming the King of All Birds and being given a share of Smaug's treasure, including a crown. The Fall of Númenor: Eagles were sacred animals in Númenor. Before the Númenoreans turned evil, one pair of eagles always used to nest in the highest tower of the royal palace, and were personally fed by the king. |

Pathfinder: Giant eagles are Neutral Good creatures who serve as guardians and protectors for their mountain homes and the creatures that live there. Abadar, the Lawful Neutral god of law and civilization, is strongly associated with eagles and giant eagles, especially the two-headed kind, and with part-eagle creatures such as griffons and hippogriffs. He himself sometimes takes the form of a two-headed eagle to watch over his followers. |

Berserk: Griffith, "The White Hawk", is the legendary commander of the mercenary band known as The Band of the Hawk — a Long-Haired Pretty Boy who wears a masked helmet shaped like a bird's beak, he has an almost supernatural air of nobility about him which inspires his men to Undying Loyalty. Later in the series he picks up a Feather Motif, and his charisma grows to the point where the Church starts to consider that he may be their Messiah figure, the Hawk of Light. Unfortunately for them, he's actually the other guy. While most translations of the series render it as "hawk", the Japanese word taka also includes falcons. Taka is increasingly replaced by the English word "falcon" as Griffith shows more of his true self, including his cruelty and desire to reach greater heights (both traits associated with falcons over hawks). By contrast Guts, one of the last survivors of the Band of the Hawk, is a tough, scrappy fighter whose Brand of Sacrifice forces him to become increasingly vigilant against danger (both traits associated with hawks over falcons). |

Thunder Cats 2011: In "The Forest of Magi Oar", the Giant Flyer Viragor is atypically depicted as an ignoble, territorial monster, haunting the titular forest, antagonizing travellers and the forest's protectors the Wood Forgers. Later it's revealed that he is the forests' ancient protector, while the wood forgers are opportunistic industrialists. | |

Washimi from Aggretsuko is a secretary bird who is the company's president's secretary and one of Retsuko's best friends. Sure, she (like anyone else at the office) can get on Retsuko's nerves at times, but when all is said and done, the two are great friends. It's also implied that since the president is so incompetent, she's running the show for him, meaning that the most powerful person in the company is on Retsuko's side! | |

Star Trek: Both the Romulans and Klingons have warships referred to as Birds-of-Prey or Warbirds. The Klingon and Romulan Birds-of-Prey are fairly small, but boast considerable firepower that makes each one a Pint-Sized Powerhouse; the Romulan D'Deridex-class Warbird, on the other hand, is massive enough to dwarf a Galaxy-class starship like the Enterprise-D. The Romulans are also associated with eagles, likely due to the parallels with the Roman Empire. | |

Tales of the Magic Land feature a tribe of great eagles (resembling Tolkien's in scale and power), one of whom, the young and initially naive Carfax, is the most notable example of nobility. He even becomes their chief off-screen after his nemesis gets himself killed by his own hubris. | |

Medieval Times Dinner And Tournament has Lady Guinevere, the "most prized" of the queen's falcons. The noble element is downplayed, since Guinevere is an actual falcon flying around the arena, but the spectacle relies on the positive connotations of birds of prey. Additionally, the Red-and-Yellow Knight's banner is a two-headed eagle, and he is characterized as a noble and disciplined warrior - although he may turn out to be a bad guy, in which case his iconography becomes that of the Brutal Bird of Prey. | |

Animorphs: The Animorphs use bird morphs as their primary means of travel, and favor raptorial birds for being better able to defend themselves — most notably, Rachel takes the form of a bald eagle. Then there's Tobias, who is now a red-tailed hawk in his natural form. Further played with in the David Trilogy, where the Sixth Ranger David chooses a golden eagle as his first morph, a bird easily larger and more dangerous than any other the kids have morphed so far, with the exception of Rachel's bald eagle. | |

BattleTech has Clan Jade Falcon, one of the most aggressive Clans in the Inner Sphere, they later have bird themed mechs like the Jade Hawk. They like to think of themselves as being noble, but they're one of the worst Clans when it comes to hypocrisy regarding honor (they're very prone to bending the rules every chance they get but throw a fit at the slightest appearance of impropriety from anyone else) and in the Dark Age they adopt the so-called Mongol Doctrine, which is basically "use overwhelming force against all opponents and make sure to kill civilians." | |

In Lords and Ladies, Lady Jane the gyrfalcon takes down one of The Fair Folk. The elf in question had ordered her to kill Hodgesaargh, the falconer, without realizing just how vicious and how prone to attacking the closest person available — including her would-be falconer — she was. She immediately went for the elf's throat. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Auri-El is the Aldmeri (Elven) aspect of Akatosh, the draconic God of Time and chief deity of the Aedric Divine pantheon. As Auri-El, he takes the form of a majestic golden eagle and is referred to as the "King of Gods". As such, the eagle is the Animal Motif of the Aldmeri Dominion, showing up in everything from their sigils and banners to their very weapons and armor. Similarly, Kyne, the old Nordic aspect of Kynareth, the Aedric Divine Goddess of the Air and Heavens, is associated with and often represented by a hawk. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, the falcon is the sigil of the House of Arryn (whose words are "As High As Honor"), founded by Ser Artys Arryn, the Falcon Knight, who led the Andal invasion of the Vale. In-universe, Ser Artys is often conflated with the Winged Knight, a legendary figure who the supposedly rode a huge falcon and had armies of eagles at this command, despite the fact that the Winged Knight would have lived thousands of years before Ser Artys. | |

Pell the Falcon from One Piece is one of the two head guards of the kingdom of Alabasta. He's a stern, noble protector who acts as a parental figure for Princess Vivi, and is willing to selflessly sacrifice himself without a hint of hesitation to protect his home from those who desire to harm it. His epithet comes from the fact he ate the Tori Tori no Mi: Model Falcon Devil Fruit, thus allowing him to transform from human form into either a anthropomorphic falcon-man or a man-sized falcon at will. | |

Pokémon: Most of the final evolutions of the common regional birds, such as Pidgeot and Swellow, gain raptorial traits, as well as mentions in the Pokédex of their hunting prowess, majesty and flying abilities. Staraptor is the one that takes to this the most, with a great deal of emphasis being put on its fierce nature, strength and courage, and how it never stops fighting even if injured. Braviary, an eagle Pokémon with feathers in the color of the American flag, takes to this trope more than any other Pokémon. It's referred to as "the hero of the sky", fights for its friends without any thought of its own safety, and the more scars it has, the more respect it gets from its peers. The Fire/Flying-type Talonflame, based off of the peregrine falcon, is also an evolution of one of the early game birds, and its entries tend to focus on how passionate of a hunter and fighter it is. Among the regional birds, there are Three notable aversions — Unova's Unfezant is based on a galliform rather than a raptor and, compared to birds like Pidgeot and Swellow, its claws and beak are diminished and pathetic. Instead, the Pokédex entries focus on its beauty and loyalty to its trainer, as opposed to its prowess as a predator (Unova's raptor niche belongs to the aforementioned Braviary and its counterpart Mandibuzz). Alola, meanwhile, has Toucannon, which as its name suggests is based on a toucan and explicitly stated to be a frugivore. There is also Galar's Corviknight, which is based on a corvid, more specifically, a raven. |

Warhammer 40,000: The double-headed eagle is the symbol of the Imperium of Man. Whenever praying to the Emperor, worshippers and devotees are said to "make the sign of the Aquila" (Aquila meaning "eagle" in Latin/High Gothic). The Emperor of Mankind is known to be from central Anatolia (currently Turkey), very close to the areas where two-headed eagle symbols first arose and were codified in western culture. | |

Warhammer: High Elves and Wood Elves have access to Giant Eagles, both as their own unit and as mounts for their Lords and Heroes. They later get an upgrade to flying chariot pulled by a giant eagle. The Eagles themselves are proud, noble birds that nest in the high peaks of Ulthuan and the Old World and are stalwarts foes of Chaos and the Greenskins, in addition to appearing immune to Chaos corruption. There are also War Hawks, lesser but still great birds that nest in the mountains near Athel Loren as allies of the Wood Elves, sometimes consenting to carry Elven soldiers on their backs into battle. The High Elves also use eagles as their Animal Motif (along with dragons). True to form, they are keen-eyed, intelligent, proud and style themselves as the defenders of the world from the forces of Chaos. |

Judge Dredd: Judges have a massive eagle for one shoulder pad, and eagles are a prominent symbol in all parts of the Judge System. Carlos Ezquerra says he chose the eagle because it was heavily associated with both American freedom and fascist Spain and Nazi Germany; thus, it serves as a reminder of how something good can be perverted into evil by good intentions. | |

The falcon wins the race, but Rainbow's Exact Words dictated that whichever one crossed the finish line WITH HER would become her pet. Since Tank the tortoise was the only one to stop and help her after she was trapped by an avalanche, the falcon rather gracefully concedes defeat, even shaking Tank's hand. | |

In Our Man Flint, the Galaxy organization has an anti-American eagle guarding its headquarters: it's trained to detect and attack Americans. After Flint destroys the Island Base, the last scene in the movie is the eagle soaring over it. | |

Darius has the Silver Hawk series as the central line of defense against robotic sea animals. Like the animals they're based on, the star-fighters have avian-inspired designs, such as a beak-like snout and protrusions that resemble tail-feathers. | |

Generally, all Bird-type Pokemon Ash and his companions manage to capture in Pokémon: The Series. Pidgeotto is a obvious case. It introduced itself trying to eat Caterpie (as expected from a hungry bird), though as soon as it was captured, it became a loyal battler and friend for Ash's group. | |

Guardians of Ga'Hoole: Pops up all the time, since birds of prey make up almost the entire cast. In addition to the owl main characters (themselves a rare example of owls filling this trope as opposed to being scary or wise), we also have a couple of bald eagles who help Hortense the spotted owl rescue orphaned owlets from St. Aggie's. | |

In Dragon Age II, birds of prey are a prevalent feature of Kirkwall architecture and many nobles favour them in their coat of arms. For instance, the Viscount uses a Falcon as his symbol, while the Amell family crest is adorned with two Eagles, later adopted by their scion, Hawke. | |

Naturally, Taka is a loyal and observant friend who's grateful when Juniper forgives him for scratching her, and happily consumes the bugs preying on her garden. However, he is so proud that he often has difficulty admitting affection. | |

In Small Gods, the crowd at the Place of Lamentation in the Omnian Citadel believe in this, and get very excited when a particularly noble-looking eagle perches itself atop a statue; they discuss whether it is a sign (not a sign of anything, just a sign in general), or a messenger from the Great God Om, or possibly the god himself. Om, who is nearby, is not happy, as he's currently a tortoise and eagles are one of his few natural predators; he sneers that it's just a "better-looking turkey" with a brain the size of a walnut. | |

Assassin's Creed Gave the Player Character a trained pet eagle in Assassin's Creed Origins, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and Assassin's Creed: Mirage. The franchise as whole, employs this theme as the assassins themselves are often compared to birds of prey and use eagles, falcons, and hawks in their themes as they try to use their skills for the noble purpose of keeping the world free from the dominion of the Templars. | |

Fighting Fantasy has two adventures, Temple of Terror and Return to Firetop Mountain, involving the hero hitching a ride on the back of a noble giant eagle, which then carries them to their next adventure. But as the books take place in a world where Everything Is Trying to Kill You, both adventures have the eagles being attacked by airborne predators, respectively a Pterodactyl and a harpy, mid-journey. | |

A flock of giant eagles are the messengers of Manwë. Being possibly Maiar would make them immortal, and at least one of them (Gwaihir) was listed as being alive in both the First and Third Ages, thousands of years apart. In their appearance in The Hobbit, they apparently take great pleasure in messing with Goblins' and Worgs' evil plans and later join the Dwarves, Men, and Elves in fighting them at the Battle of the Five Armies. At the end, the Lord of the Eagles (who may or may not be Gwaihir) was described as becoming the King of All Birds and being given a share of Smaug's treasure, including a crown. | |

The Rescuers Down Under has Marahute, a wedge-tailed eagle that's big enough for a small boy to ride on. She allows said boy to ride on her as thanks for saving her from a trap. She is an ally to the boy, as well as Bernard and Bianca, the titular rescuers, throughout the movie, as they face off against a poacher who wants to get his hands on the bird for money. | |
