Who are the Best (and worst) eagle villagers and why? 🦅

[Felix Felicis]

Apollo is very simple but nice! However, he's not my favorite as I'm not a big fan of eagle characters and find him too simple haha but he's not bad at all and cranky! Very important!
Avery is very cute! His eyes are a little bit strange but that's ok, and I love his colours. Same for Buzz, and both of them are cranky again!
Celia is not ugly, I'm not sure if I like or not her eyes but the green colour on white is quite cute!

The worst one? I don't know. Maybe Frank. Or no, Keaton, because I love Frank's eyes. Difficult choice! Here, I hate no one!

my favourites are celia, frank and keaton; i haven’t personally experienced any of them but they seem great and i really like their designs! as for worst, i gotta go with pierce.

I love Sterling. He's been on most of my islands and he's such a fun jock. Knights were the jocks of medieval times and Sterling is perfect for that. Plus his house is a dungeon/jail! So fun.

And I also really like Avery. Avery was on my very first island that I ended up resetting but eventually I got him back. I like his western desert house and his theme song K.K. Condor. I also like his natural color scheme. Sometimes it's hard to find him since he blends in so well with the forest!

Only Eagle I've ever had was Amelia in Wild World. I'd like to get Keaton, Frank, or Pierce eventually. I'd also like to see them add a peppy Eagle at some point, just to see how they'd do it.

I love Apollo and Amelia - they're the only eagle villagers I like tbh. Their designs are simple but cute. My least favourites are Sterling and Pierce because I hate jock villagers.

I really like the eagle villagers. I love their general body shape and their cute talon feepsies. Keaton is my favorite; I've loved him ever since he moved in to my first New Leaf town, and has been one of my all time favorite villagers ever since. That he's my favorite personality type, smug, makes him even better, and he's just a perfect fit for the personality. I also adore his beach-themed New Leaf home... and I hate that they changed it into a parking lot in New Horizons. Although Keaton will always be my favorite, I also rather like Celia as well.

There are no bad eagles... all of them are cute!

I have a soft spot for Stering since I was a kid, he was one of my fav villagers back in city folk, and as a kid I loved knights and all that stuff, so he really made an impression!
For years he was one of my best friends and my next door neighbor only a few steps away!
Then he naturally came to me in NL, dude was my bro and it felt like he was following me as I got older so he could look out for me.

 

[Rosch]

Sterling. Forever.

I like all eagles though. Now that I think about it, they are some of the species that I have a lot of favorites, along with cats and wolves.

 

[nordskjev]

I like Amelia, Pierce and Avery!
For me, the worst is Celia. Just not a fan of her.

 

[xhyloh]

i love keaton the most because of his colors and how much he looks like a typical high schooler. worst is sterling but i don't hate him or anything!

 

[princess.looking.for.frog]

I like the eagles and seriously, one of my fav species.
My fav has to be Celia, so sweet.

Apollo has a simple design, and he was a great friend in my WW town!
Amelia is such a cool snooty, love the bright red.
Buzz's design embodies a real cranky from Gamecube and WW. Fun times.
Celia, how can I not!! She is a gentle giant and I want her so badly, just i dont want to dupe my fav villagers personality, normal.
Avery is underrated but havr cool markings.
Keaton is average, I am pretty sure he is modeled after a macaw, though that is one of few redeeming factors. I just wished his eyes were sweeter and he wasnt smug. I rather a jock with a build like that.
Frank is brightly coloured and super unique, the eyebrows are *chefs kiss*
Sterling is a friggin KNIGHT like what mire to say. I think he is brothers with Knox, the knight chicken.
Peirce has pretty colours and hes a jock. Also, his eyes are better than others.

i don't think i really care for any of the eagles lol... i know apollo is one of the big favourites and is insanely popular but i just find him so incredibly boring. like he's just an eagle. whatever.
plus i associate bald eagles with american patriotism which has incredibly negative connotations for me, so no thanks. hard pass on apollo.

i guess my favourites would be sterling and/or pierce? sterling's got the funny knight helmet thing going on like knox, plus he looks friendly. pierce is a nice shade of blue, and his buggy, traumatized eyes make me laugh. what has he seen. is he okay. does he remember the war. does war never change.

I love Apollo to death, he is very tough, gruff…but has a heart of gold deep down.
I started getting attached to him back in 2015 when I saw an English dub of the movie. I love how he was portrayed.

I know he has a more plain/natural design, but I think he is very handsome

I currently have him in all five mainline games <333

He’s definitely a favorite of mine, not just of the Eagles, but in general

. . .​

As for my least favorite, I guess I’ll go with Avery. I remember I was doing a cycling, NEW leaf town a while back, and he stayed forever. He would not move. I cycled through in-game years…

 

[rocketspruggs]

I really like the designs of Apollo, Celia, Quinn, and Sterling. Celia is my favorite eagle villager, though, so she gets my vote.

I'm not really a fan of Frank, his design is kind of unsettling, and he shares the same name as my uncle that I had to cut ties with, due to toxic behavior.

 

[BetsySundrop]

Apollo!!! Cranky attitude, awesome aesthetics, what more could you want?

I had apollo in one of my earlier games, city folk. He was gruff, but a really cool villager.

 

[oak]

Apollo for sure. I remember him being in my gamecube town when I was kid.

 

[.: Meri :.]

Sterling is a knight and I love knights, so he was an easy favorite for me (and not only did I have him in New Leaf, I also got to write about him and Knox during the enchanted forest Fair, which is a fond memory for me!), but I also really love Celia!! I'd tone down the fuchsia in her design but otherwise I'd consider it very solid, and I love her default outfit in New Horizons. I haven't had the chance to have her yet, but if she's in the next AC game she'll be an immediate dreamie pick for me. Avery is pretty cool too.

I don't particularly dislike any of the eagles, but Pierce could uh, lower the intensity down a notch or two. He's one of those villagers with a kinda scary look in the eyes.

 

[deana]

The eagles are a little bit of a boring bunch compare to some of the other species...

Best:
Amelia - To me she's THE classic eagle, she's everything Apollo is but better
Apollo - Lesser to Amelia but he still has a very classic design and he's a cranky villager and I love crankies
Buzz - I like his little angry eyes

Worst:
Avery - He looks terrified! And just not a big fan of his colours.

 

[Saylor]

I don't know what it is about them but I love the eagle designs. Pierce and Celia are my favorites! Pierce has one of my favorite color schemes of any villager and he looks so tired, and Celia looks so sweet.

I don't dislike any of them really but I guess the worst for me would be Apollo, I just don't find him as interesting as the others.

 

[oath2order]

Apollo is great, because America.

Amelia has a great design. Avery is cool, but I feel Sterling is mediocre; I don't tend to like animals with a permanent clothing feature.
