Best Answer

The arrival of the eagles was a major turning point in the Battle of the Five Armies. They threw down the goblins from the heights. However, even with the Eagles the battle would have gone ill. The actual saving grace of the three armies was the arrival of Beorn in his bear form. The book describes him as tossing orcs and wargs aside like straw. He also killed Bolg and his bodyguard. With this loss, the goblins were toast.
