Zu, or Anzu in Persian and Sumerian, (from An "heaven" and Zu "far", in the Sumerian language) is a lesser divinity of Akkadian mythology, and the son of the bird goddess Siris. Both Zu and Siris are seen as massive birds who can breathe fire and water, although Zu is alternately seen as a lion-headed eagle (cf: The Griffin).

The Anzu was a servant of the chief sky god Enlil, (possibly previously a symbol of Anu), from whom Anzu stole the Tablet of Destinies, so hoping to determine the fate of all things. In one version of the legend, the gods sent Lugalbanda to retrieve the tablets, who in turn, killed Anzu. In another, Ea and Belet-Ili conceived Ninurta for the purpose of retrieving the tablets. In a third legend, found in The Hymn of Ashurbanipal, Marduk is said to have killed Anzu.

ok, so now, to make this Anzu as a side quest, I need a skn mod of a giant bird with a lions head which breaths fire... beyond my abilities.....
hang on, how would it go? The hero reads the ancient inscription of the Hymn of Ashurbanipal, located in the temple of the scarlet whore of Babylon, and is to go and retrieve the tablets of destines, which the bird Anzu had stolen, from the celestial temple at .... that'll do.... what's the toughest mother of a crow/vulture on the templates?
I suppose it could be a fury as well, as thats a bird, sort of..
