Psyber-Eagle

Inquisition Portal

The Psyber-Eagle of Lord Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz^[3]

Psyber-Eagles are cybernetically enhanced^[1] or vat-grown^[5] birds which serve as the aids to Inquisitors, agents of the Officio Assassinorum,^[1] Adeptus Astartes Librarians,^[5] and other agents of the Imperium.^[1] Like Servo-skulls, they also serve to amplify the abilities of a Psyker on the battlefield.^[2] They come in many breeds, but the most popular is the double-headed eagle, a flesh-and-blood aquila.^[4]

Variations of Psyber-Eagles include the Imperial Fists's two-headed Psyber-Aquila^[5] and the Iron Hands' spear wielding Iron Eagles.^[6] Those in the White Scars are known as Berkuts and a notable example is Anzuq.^[7]
