Description
Ziz is another creature mentioned in vague terms in the Bible (and only once) that has been expanded upon in Jewish folklore. A titanic bird, Ziz (also called Bar Juchne) is the largest of God's creations to live in the sky (compare with Leviathan, the largest of the sea; and Behemoth, the largest of the land). Like those creatures, Ziz's meat will also apparently be part of the feast of the righteous after the Day of Judgement.

Ziz can darken the sky with its vast wingspan. An egg dropped from the bird was described in the Jewish Aggadot as flooding 60 cities with its fluid.
