The Ziz (Hebrew: זיז) is a giant griffin-like bird in Jewish mythology, said to be large enough to be able to block out the sun with its wingspan. It is considered a giant animal/monster corresponding to archetypal creatures. Rabbis have said that the Ziz is comparable to the Persian Simurgh. Behemoth, Leviathan and Ziz were traditionally a favorite decoration motif for rabbis living in Russia.
According to Jewish tradition the meat of the Ziz will be served at the end banquet along with that of the Leviathan and the Behemoth.
Note that this mythological bird is in Midrash rather than standard Jewish eschatology.
There is also the cliff of Ziz, the pass by which the horde of Moabites, Ammonites and Mehunim made their way up from the shores of the Dead Sea to the wilderness of Judah near Tekoa. (2 Chronicles 20:16) only; comp. 2 Chr 20:20 It was the pass of Ain Jidy.
