What's your favorite mythical bird?

Question

Mine is the Phoenix <3

Chazmatazz269 · Accepted Answer

I have no thoughts or opinions on mythical birds per se. I find the real world theory about the phoenix mythology interesting though.
Some birds are extraordinarily clever; so much so that people actually refer to them as “intelligent”. For example, ravens will “bathe” in smoke to remove parasites from their feathers and flesh. It’s thought that early humans witnessed these animals rising from smoke, and apparently flames, and unable to conceive of a creature that could survive the flame, imagined one that might be “reborn” from it.

The phoenix is neat, but I'm partial to the Ziz. Given how popular behemoth and leviathan are, you'd think more people would be more familiar with it, but... no. I'm not sure why. Plus I used it as the name of a starship I designed in Empyrion: Galactic Survival which I used to freak the hell out of my buddy by blocking out the sun, which made for a very amusing memory.

Thunderbirds are cool, too, but the legends are SO inconsistent, it's hard to get a good reading on just who and what they are.

When I first discovered Pokémon 23 years ago, I really wanted to capture a legendary bird in the first generation, I believe it was called an Articuno.

I like the phoenix too. "From ashes, the phoenix rises," sort of thing. Also the griffon. Not exactly sure what he is/does.

Garuda, in Hindu mythology, the bird (a kite or an eagle) and the vahana (mount) of the god Vishnu. In the Rigveda the sun is compared to a bird in its flight across the sky, and an eagle carries the ambrosial soma plant from heaven to earth.

Phoenix as well. They’re immortal by their ability to be reborn from their ashes. They can carry enormous loads. Their tears have healing powers. They are very faithful companions. Their songs are quite beautiful.

MysticDevice · Answer

I'd have to say the Pheonix as well. I don't really know of any other mythical birds and I'm not sure the Gryffon counts as a bird per se. Otherwise my favorite is a Gryffon.
