Might be time to roll up a new party member (Adventurer 1, Robin Parry cover art, April 1986). Looking closely, the water forms a pentagram and the gazebo-like structure on the bank casts a reflection resembling a skull. Is this a very early reference to the dread gazebo? The timing seems unlikely, but the image invites speculation about what is going on in this odd landscape.

A 20-40 foot (6-12 m) scheming tentacle creature with mind-control slime, telepathy, and a hatred of the gods. They're known for psychic powers, manipulating your emotions or learning your greatest desires.
The giant eagle on the other hand, is a really big bird. It knows 3 languages and has 8 int, so it is sentient! But otherwise Just a 10 foot (3 m) tall bird with a 20 foot (6.1 m) wingspan.

Dynatoaetus: Australia's Mighty Eagle
Paleontology news from the land down under, and big ones this time. How big? Well how about one of the largest true birds of prey of Australasia.
Today a new paper was published naming Dynatoaetus gaffae (Gaff's Mighty Eagle), the largest known bird of prey to have ever existed in Australia. Twice the weight of the modern wedge-tailed eagle, it must have been truly an imposing animal to behold, in the Australasian realm second only to the enormous Haast's eagle of New Zealand.
Comparisson below by Ellen K. Mather
But the name is a bit of a missnomer, well sorta. You see, while its referred to as an eagle, phylogenetic analysis shows that the closest living relatives of Dynatoaetus are actually aegypiine vultures. Or in simpler terms, those old world vultures known for their mostly naked necks such as lapett-faced vultures, hooded vultures and griffon vultures. Below some examples of this group by yours truly.
At the same time tho, despite being related to these vultures, Dynatoaetus didn't act like one. In this regard eagle is an appropriate term, more indicative of a lifestyle and morphology rather than relation (seeing as sea eagles relate to kites and philippine eagles are closer to these vultures than "real" eagles). With really robust hindlimbs and powerful talons, Dynatoaetus is more suited to capturing and incapacitating struggling live prey than it is to simply scavening dead bodies. And with Australia's megafauna offering a wide range of kangaroos, giant wombats and flightless birds it hat a lot to choose from.
Of course a bird of this size would not be above scavening either and with its power and bulk it could easily dominate carcasses when in conflict with the smaller Cryptogyps. Overall this lifestyle appears similar to what we see today in wedge-tailed eagles, which are formidable hunters but also opportunistic scavengers. Mather and colleagues even go as far as to suggest that the role of generalist apex predator was initially filled by Dynatoaetus and wedge-tails only managed to take up this nische after the former went extinct some 50k years ago along with most of Australias native fauna.
If you want an idea of things, here's some pictures of wedge-tailed eagles doing their thing. Now imagine what that would be like at twice the size.

As per usual with these posts, here is the Wikipedia page I set up. Keep in mind the skeletal there shows the known material, but does not accurately represent the real proportions as its simply a colored griffon vulture. And the paper itself, its open access and gives more detail than I ever could.
Dynatoaetus - Wikipedia
A giant raptor (Aves: Accipitridae) from the Pleistocene of southern Australia | SpringerLink
And since you made it this far, here's a reward....or punishment? Idk depends but once I heard its name meant "mighty eagle" I couldn't get this goddamn clip out of my head and so you shall suffer with me.

Daily Comic Journal: February 2, 2022: "Accidents Will Happen, But This?"
I hesitated to head into the Giant Eagle and watched as the drivers and passengers got out of the vehicles. I didn’t think that anyone was hurt, maybe angry or embarrassed. I know that the White Oak Police Station is very close so a policeman arrived very quickly. After he arrived I continued my walk since I didn’t actually see the crash, I turned my head once I heard the crash. There were plenty…
