Mongolian Garid, also known as Khangarid or Khan Garuda, is the Vedic Garuda, the Divine Eagle of Vishnu. Mongolian traditions associate Garuda with prowess, vitality, good fortune, victory and the triumph of goodness.

Genghis Khan’s pet Eagle/Falcon, Garid, often rode up on his arm. For him it “…was better and surer than any arrow, because it could fly up into the skies and see everything that a human being could not.”
