Ziz
The word Ziz (Hebrew: זיז) within the Hebrew Bible is found in Psalms 50:11 and 80:13, but most English translations refer to it as an ambiguous "beast". Jewish aggadot say that the Ziz is the ruler of birds, similar to how Leviathan is the king of fish. Whereas, the Leviathan is associated with the primordial forces of the Water; זיז who is related to the Sumerian Zu or Anzu, the Persian Simurgh, and the Garuda of the Indian subcontinent that evolved into the highly symbolic Garuda of the Tibetian platue when it combined with the golden eagle of Bon, is associated with the Air and Fire elements. In other words, psychic forces beyond human control which can propel humanity to creative heights or into the flames of destruction.
