The Psyber-Eagle of Lord Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz[3]

Psyber-Eagles, or Cyber-Eagles,[10] are cybernetically enhanced[1] or vat-grown[5] birds which serve as the aids to Inquisitors, agents of the Officio Assassinorum,[1] Adeptus Astartes Librarians,[5] and other agents of the Imperium.[1] Like Servo-skulls, they also serve to amplify the abilities of a Psyker on the battlefield.[2] They come in many breeds, but the most popular is the double-headed eagle, a flesh-and-blood aquila.[4]

Valued by imperial Officers and Operatives for their speed and agility, these cybernetic aerial predators soar high above the battlefield, diving on command to blind and maim their master's enemies. They may also serve as the perfect distraction, sowing confusion among enemy ranks, and even potentially causing friendly fire.[10]

Variations of Psyber-Eagles include the Imperial Fists's two-headed Psyber-Aquila[5] and the Iron Hands' spear wielding Iron Eagles.[6] Those in the White Scars are known as Berkuts and a notable example is Anzuq.[7]
