Chamrosh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chamrosh is a bird in Persian mythology said to live on the summit of Mount Alborz.
It is the archetype of all birds, said to rule and protect all avifauna on Earth. According to the Avesta, Persia is pillaged every three years by outsiders, and when this happens, the angel Burj sends Chamrosh out to fly onto the highest mountaintop then snatch the pillagers in its talons.
