Dire Catfish

That is the infamous Piasa bird.

Alright, what the heck is an infamous Piasa bird? Looks like a peryton.

EDIT: Ah. That's pretty cool.

May I assume you Googled it?

The story is neat, but the fact of the bird now is pathetic. When I lived there, it existed as a badly painted slab of steel that stuck out from the cliffside like it was a billboard, yet the locals still treated it as if it were a historic artifact.
