Animal Suggestion: Eagle

   I noticed that 99.97% of the animals and locations in Ur are in Groddle-style, so I had an idea for an Ix-style creature: the Eagle.

      Backstory:
   Eagles used to be native to Ix, enjoying long drives in their huge, Hummer-esque cars, performing awesome stunt jumps, made all the more awesome by their ability to glide with their majestic wings. (I don't know how their wings were able to support the weight of their cars, but that's besides the point.) The other inhabitants of Ix loved to witness these jumps whenever they could, so they designed their architecture specifically for the eagles to perform their legendary aerial stunt shows, living in perfect harmony with them...
   ...Except that the eagles had little respect for Ix itself. The smog that they and their cars carelessly spread across Ix began to eat away at the Cosmozone Layer, a layer of gas that protects Ur from the harmful effects UV radiation, the Rook and UV-irradiated Rook. One day, massive holes in the Cosmozone layer began to form in Ix's skies, leaving it open for one of the biggest Rook attacks in Ur history. The survivors of this disaster then banished the eagles from Ix forever.

      Habitat:
   Despite their Ixian appearance, they can be found everywhere but Ix, due to their banishment. Eagles drive aimlessly Ur with their ability to travel between streets and regions. However, they are confined to their continent (the eagles can do some killer jumps, but they can only glide so far).

      Interaction:
   Eagles need something to fuel their cars with, so when you interact with one, you can give it some fuel cells to give its vehicle some extra juice. How do the eagles repay you for this selfless act of kindness? By blowing smog in your face, of course! This may seem pretty jerky on the eagle's part, but you'd be surprised by what you can do with a seemingly destructive puff of smog.
   However, if you're feeling mischievous, you can also shove a banana into their tailpipe! Contrary to popular belief, this won't hinder the Eagle in any way, but the banana won't be so lucky. You will receive a blackened banana, another seemingly useless thing that has great potential.
   If you really want to ruffle the eagle's feathers, try slipping some snails under its tires to give it a flat! It's hilarious to watch, until the eagle decides to reestablish the pecking order.

      Life Cycle:
   An eagle egg is created by seasoning an egg with red elements, white gas, and blue bubbles (get it?) and hatches into an eaglet.
   To make the eaglet mature into an eagle, you have to supply it with materials to build its own car: a machine engine, a few metal rods, and plenty of ingots.
   An eagle always goes down with its car! The eagle dies of a car accident when its car runs out of fuel.
