Konrul
In Turkic mythology, Konrul or Kongrul / Konqrul (''Koñrul'', Azerbaijanese: ''Qonrul'') is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn.
In Turkish folklore, Konrul refers to a supernatural bird, often glossed as, or identified with, the Greek Phoenix or Persian ''Simurg'' (in Turkish languages Semrük〔Juan Eduardo Cirlot, A Dictionary of Symbols, Courier Dover Publications, 2002, p.253〕).
Konrul is depicted as a winged creature in the shape of a bird, gigantic enough to carry off an elephant. It appears as a peacock with the head of a dog and the claws of a lion; sometimes however also with a human face. It has an enmity towards snakes and its natural habitat is a place with plenty of water. Its feathers are said to be the colour of copper, and though it was originally described as being a Dog-Bird, later it was shown with either the head of a dog.
==Different aspects of other mythologies==
In Turkic culture Konrul has a twin and its name is Toghrul (Turul). In one of the folk tales, a hero rescues Konruls offspring by killing a snake that was crawling up the tree to feed upon them. As a reward, Konrul gives him three of her feathers which the hero can use to call her for help by burning them. Later the hero uses the feathers, and the Konrul carries him to a distant land. In the other tale, Konrul carries the hero out of the netherworld; here Konrul feeds its young with its teats.
