This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Karura (Japanese)
The Karura is a divine creature with a human torso and birdlike head in Japanese mythology. The name is a of garuda, a race of enormously gigantic birds in Hinduism.the Japanese Buddhist version is based upon Hindu Mythology. The same creature may go by the name of konjicho "gold-winged bird".
The karura is said to be enormous, fire-breathing, and to feed on dragons/serpents, just as Garuda is the bane of N?gas. Only a dragon who possesses a Buddhist talisman, or one who has converted to the Buddhist teaching, can escape unharmed from the Karura. Shumisen or Mount Meru is said to be its habitat.
