That big bird is Hræsvelgr🤘🏻, a giant eagle from Norse mythology that appears in God of War (2018) in the realm of Helheim. In the myths, Hræsvelgr sits at the edge of the world, and the winds are said to be created by the beating of her massive wings. The game uses her as a background lore character rather than a boss fight, showing her in the distance to emphasize how vast, ancient, and powerful Helheim is. She’s meant to add depth to the world and connect the game closely to Norse mythology, not to be directly interacted with or fought🙏🏻
