According to folklore, the Garuda is a half-beast, half-god. He has eagle-like characteristics, with large wings, sharp talons and a sharp beak affixed to a human face. He possesses human arms and upper body, whereas his lower body resembles a large bird with a feathery tail. The Garuda has unfathomable power. It is said that his wings are capable of creating gusts of storms and that he is able to fly high above the clouds and soar swiftly. However, he is also wise, gentle and respectful.
