Haast's Eagle

Haast's Eagle

Haast's eagle (Hieraaetus moorei) is an extinct species of eagle that once lived in the South Island of New Zealand, commonly accepted to be the pouakai of Māori legend. It was the largest eagle known to have existed, with an estimated weight of 15 kilograms (33 lb), compared to the 9 kg (20 lb) harpy eagle. Its massive size is explained as an evolutionary response to the size of its prey, the flightless moa, the largest of which could weigh 230 kg (510 lb). Haast's eagle became extinct around 1400, following the arrival of the Māori.

They can be revived if the player brushes up a Hasst's Talon from suspicious sand. When the talon is found, it can be placed in a DNA extractor, which can form it's spawn egg. Bringing the Haast's Eagle back to life will give you the achievement "Is it a plane?" due to their size.
