Eagle

Eagle is a rare large bonus bird found across all chapters of Mewgenics. With 16 HP, 5 damage, and 3 movement, it is as tough as a Turkey or Chicken but considerably more dangerous in combat. Unlike most bonus birds that are entirely passive, the Eagle applies Bleed to anything it attacks, making it a genuine threat if provoked without finishing the job. Eagles are among the most valuable targets in the game due to their exceptional loot table.

Any cat that lands the killing blow on an Eagle earns +1 All Stats Up and receives a weapon drop from a pool of seven powerful options: Shotgun (fires 5 projectiles in a cone), Submachine Gun (5 shots in a straight line), .22 Rifle (ranged shot), Rocket Launcher (explosive ranged attack), Revolver (instakill for regular units, 25 damage to bosses), Sniper Rifle (instakill for regular units, 25 damage to bosses), and Grenade (explosive with buff-stripping). These are some of the strongest weapon items available, making the Eagle by far the most rewarding bonus bird to hunt.

When an Eagle appears, prioritize killing it above almost everything else on the field. Its 16 HP requires commitment, so a high-damage cat or a burst ability is ideal. Avoid spreading chip damage that triggers its Bleed-applying counterattack without securing the kill. The Eagle resembles a bald eagle, and its weapon-heavy item pool may be a reference to American gun culture.
