Eagle Trickster of Uzbek
The Eagle Trickster from Uzbek tradition is a guardian spirit of the Pamir and Tian Shan mountain ranges that form the backbone of Uzbekistan's landscape. In Uzbek folklore, this sky spirit oversees the remote mountain passes and high-altitude pastures where shepherds graze their flocks. It is associated with both creation and destruction, as it controls avalanches and rockfalls that reshape the mountains. Elders say that the Eagle Trickster was once a human shaman who was transformed into an eagle by the spirits of the mountains for his wisdom and cunning
