In Fleeters universe[]
A villainous Golden Eagle known as Murderface makes his debut in the short story Spottail's Death. In the Fleeters universe, Goldens are considered formidable, and will attack anything that moves or is in their territory, including man-made objections. Other raptors are cautious around Goldens for this reason.
