Groth-golka

A giant, centuries-old bird on the Isle of the Gods. At one time there were many of Groth-golka's species on the on the isle; they warred on the local people and devoured them by hundreds. But at last all the others of his kind were exterminated. Hosts of men came against Groth-golka, but he was greatest of all the devil-birds and he slew all who fought him. So the priests made a god of him and left a small part of the island to him, on the far side of a shark-infested lagoon. Gothan left Brunhild as a sacrifice to Groth-golka, but Athelstane the Saxon and Turlogh O'Brien intervened and slew the bird thing. The three of them took its head to the city of Bal-Sagoth as proof that they had slain the bird-god. [REH Gods (online text)]
