The War Eagle serves as a character of Auburn University, a personification of the school battle cry of "War Eagle." It is also the name of the school's fight song. "War Eagle" is a battle weep and representation of Auburn University. There are quite a few stories about the battle weep, but the most accepted myth was at first available in 1960 in the Auburn Plainsman and was conceive by then-Editor Jim Phillips. Phillips told the story of the first time Auburn met Georgia on the football field in 1892 and centered the story on a imaginary spectator who was a veteran of the Civil War.

In the stands with him that day was a golden eagle the old soldier had found on a battlefield during the war. He had kept it as a pet for almost 30 years. According to the story, the eagle abruptly broke free and began royally circling the playing field. As the eagle soared, Auburn began a steady march toward the Georgia end zone for a thrilling victory. Elated at their team's play and taking the bird's presence as an sign of success, Auburn students and fans began to yell "War Eagle" to encourage on their team. At the game's end, the eagle took a sudden dive, crashed into the ground, and died, giving his spirit to the Auburn fans. The battle cry "War Eagle" lived on to become a symbol of the proud Auburn spirit.
