Blood Eagles

The Blood Eagles are a faction in the Fallout 76 add-on Wastelanders.

Background
Described as a "raider's raider," the Blood Eagles are a ruthless tribe of tyrants, terrorizing anyone and everyone who comes on their turf. Found throughout the Ash Heap, they set up shop in many of the old mining tunnels and facilities, and have staked their claim on the majority of Big Bend Tunnel. They possess at least a rudimentary knowledge of creature taming, and their legion is stocked with highly trained attack dogs. They regularly prey on the Blue Ridge Caravan Company and will do whatever it takes to stop the caravans from passing through their territory.

Interactions with the player character
Blood Eagles will always be hostile to the Residents, serving as generic enemies throughout the Ash Heap.

Appearances
The Blood Eagles appear only in the Fallout 76 add-on Wastelanders.

Behind the scenes
The "blood eagle" is a ritual method of execution, detailed in late skaldic poetry. According to the two instances mentioned in the sagas, the victims were placed in a prone position, their ribs severed from the spine with a sharp tool, and their lungs pulled through the opening to create a pair of "wings."
