Kinnari

Half-human half-beast creatures are found loving and lusting, warring and whoring in myths and legends of nearly every, if not all, cultures in the world. Although many of them made their debut in stories from ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt, these creatures have their origins in a much older concept that was passed down over millennia. Whether they are gods, teachers or musicians, they played varying roles in many different contexts from trickster or villain to divine heroes and anthropomorphic deities, depending on the particular culture.
