The Giant Eagle has two weapon attacks, namely Beak and Talons, and one multi-attack. However, if they will try to sniff out your locations, this perk will not activate. For example, a Giant Eagle trying to look for a group of adventurers using their sight will roll two d20s and pick the higher result. The Giant Eagle has one ability called Keen Sight it allows them to have an advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks if they require sight. They do not have any special senses aside from their passive Perception of 14. Since their Wisdom modifier is +2, their Perception is now +4. After all, there is a reason why the idiom “eagle eye” exists. The Giant Eagle only has one specialized skill: their Perception. Understandably, their ability to charm is null (unless you are a bird enthusiast), and their analytical capabilities are similar to other animals. They have decent health, and their mastery of the senses is excellent.

Bottom Line Up Front: What is the Giant Eagle in D&D 5e? If you are a DM who wants to put them in their games or a player who wants to know how to defeat them, this Giant Eagle 5e Guide is for you. Their ginormous wingspan may frighten and scare you, but they are not evil animals by default. The Giant Eagle is a large beast in D&D 5e and is not too different from its real-life counterpart (I am talking about bald eagles since Giant Eagles do not exist in real life). In D&D 5e, though, you can relive their experience because you can encounter gigantic eagles that tower over you like houses.

However, in the eyes of the smaller creatures like the mice and fish, the bald eagles are terrifying flying monsters with sharp beaks that can rip them to shreds. Despite seeing countless videos of animals acting dumb (including the bald Eagle), I still view this bird as a fancy and sophisticated beast of the skies.
