Zû
Zû was an ancient dragon from mythology of ancient Mesopotamia, Sumer, and Babylon. Zu stole the Tablets of Law and threatened to plunge the world into chaos. Zû, also known as Anzû (from An, meaning "heaven," and Zû, meaning "far"), is sometimes described as a huge dragon, and other times described as a griffin or storm bird. He is the son of the bird goddess Siris. Both Zû and Siris were massive birds who could breathe fire and water. As the myth goes, Zû was a servant of the sky god Enlil, ruler of the universe. He was also the attendant of the monstrous Tiamat. Zû stole the Tupsimati, or Tablet of Destinies, from Enlil. Whoever possessed the Tablet of Destinies would have power to rule the universe. Zû flew high up to the top of the Sabu Mountains, and cached the tablets away like eggs in his nest. Enlil sent his son Ninurta, the sun god, to retrieve them. Ninurta killed Zû and returned the Tablet of Destinies to Enlil. XXX
