First appearing soaring above the Tucson wastelands, the eagle represented the continuation of Earth's wildlife despite the Phantom invasion. The eagle appears again soaring above the remains of the Leonid Meteor after its destruction at the hands of the Zeus Cannon and Gaia. During both appearances Gray Edwards is shown watching the eagle with interest. Although not possessing an obvious association with any character in the movie, the eagle might be best suited to Gray Edwards, due to his traits and various quips about his personality that might seem "eagle-like".
