Eagle (real name tipyeléhne, also known as Black Eagle in the KI comics) is a character mentioned in Killer Instinct (1994) who made his first playable debut in the post-Season Three content of Killer Instinct (2013). He is the younger brother of Thunder/hinmatoom (or his older brother in the comics) and, just like him, is a traditional Native American warrior originating from the Nez Percé tribe in Idaho. Eagle had been kidnapped by Ultratech and used as the basis for their cyborg soldier Fulgore (the Fulgore Mk. III in the rebooted universe), until he was rescued from his confinement by the alien Glacius. Eagle's teaser trailer, revealing him as the last new character to be added during Season Three, was first shown at the Combo Breaker tournament 2017. He was released on June 27, 2017.
