"Be my eyes, Senu!"

―Bayek.

Senu is a Bonelli's eagle and a companion of the Egyptian Assassin Bayek.

She shared a symbiotic relationship with Bayek, who, with the ability of Eagle Vision, could view the world from Senu's perspective. As a result, she was a powerful medium of reconnaissance for Bayek in his missions.

Trivia

• Senu's name may be derived Bennu bird, for the following reasons:
  • The Bennu bird was said to be a self-created being that played a role in the creation of the world; Senu is Bayek's pet eagle, and played a role in "pioneering" the Eagle Vision ability of the Assassin Brotherhood.
  • The Bennu bird was said to be the ba of Ra, and enabled the creative actions of Atum; Senu (in fitting with the Ancient Egyptian concept of the soul) was an "aspect" of Bayek that would continue living on after his body died, and by being a medium of reconnaissance for Bayek, she enabled him to plan his assassinations and goals easier.
• Alternatively, Senu can possibly be translated as "Sister".
• After completing all the tours of the Discovery Tour, an exclusive skin, "White Senu", is made available. It seems to be based off hierofalcons, a group of birds commonly used for falconry in the Middle East and North Africa.
• Senu was conceived early in the development of Origins. Early in development, the developers pitched the idea of actually controlling an eagle, given that the eagle is a common motif in the Assassin's Creed series.
