The basis for the Guardian of the Talion may be a Tibetan mythological creature called "Garuda". Originally the Indian version of Garuda, the "chief of feathered creatures", was represented as a large bird. Later his form assumed that of a "bird-man" - Tibetan iconography depicts Garuda with the upper torso and arms of a man, the head, beak and legs of a bird, and large wings which unfold from his back, shoulders or forearms. Blow the waist his feathered thighs terminate in ostrich like lower legs, with large clawed feet ending in sharp talons (The Encyclopedia of Tibetan Symbols and Motifs By Robert Beer).
