Other mistake: There are quite a few shots where the black fur color is faded on different areas of Ruh's body, and we can see the real color of the animal, particularly on Ruh's legs and face. Ruh was played by a few striped tigers that were dyed black with hair dye. Additionally, Kodo's and Podo's coloring and facial markings noticeably change in many close-ups. Numerous ferrets were used to play Dar's "cunning" adorable helpers.
Continuity mistake: After Maax gives the eye ring to his priest minion, in the following shots, Dar and Ruh are walking in the woods. Dar's sword strap hangs crossbody from his right shoulder, and his bag strap also hangs down from his right shoulder. When Ruh finds the water, in Dar's close-up as he says, "Ahead," there are no straps hanging from Dar's shoulders, but then both straps reappear on his right shoulder. (00:52:45)
Continuity mistake: In the woods, while Dar is drinking water, Maax orders his priest minion to kill Dar. The eye ring is worn on the middle finger of the priest's right hand, but as the priest attempts to hang/strangle Dar, there's a close-up of his hand and the eye ring is now being worn on the priest's ring finger; then it returns to the middle finger. (00:53:35)
Continuity mistake: When Maax says, "Ar wants this stranger. Bring him to me, this master of the beasts," he then holds out the eye ring with his right hand in the wide shot, but in the next close-up, the eye ring is being held out with his left hand, and he says, "This ring will lead you to him." (00:52:15)
Continuity mistake: The morning after Dar's encounter with the strange, tall, winged creatures and their human prey, when Dar pulls out their gifted amulet and looks at it, the amulet's chain is either in front of it or behind it, depending on the shot. (00:44:00)
Answer: The creatures did not eat Dar because the eagle landed on him, showing him as a friend to the eagle. They apparently worship eagles, as also indicated by the talisman they give him.
