Minokawa is a giant, dragon-like bird in Philippine mythology. Early people believed this creature is so big that it can swallow (or cover) the sun to explain the occurrence of eclipses. It is even described as a giant bird named Minokawa that lives in outer space which can devour the sun and the moon, and would try to do the same with the earth.

Sus plumas son como espadas afiladas, los ojos reflejan como un espejo, el pico y las patas son de acero. Vive "fuera del cielo, en el horizonte del este". (es)

In a Bagobo tale, the Minokawa is a bird as large as an island. Its feathers are those of sharp swords, the eyes reflect like mirrors, its beak and legs are like steel. It lives "outside the sky, at the eastern horizon". While the Baua lived "above the sky" because the Visayans believe that there is a cave called "calulundan" above the sky, the entrance covered by blue smoke. (en)
