Rumour has (myth) some people often see it when they go fishing

People in Some villages at LAMPUNG-SUMATERA says "LUDAY = DRAGON"

I still don't know why it's called GARUDA ??? In my opinion there is no resemblance at all with Garuda/ Bird
Thank for the info Wisnu....though both arms and feet are very clearly depicted in hilt # 2 and possibly even ears, though that feature is perhaps less positive, so this seems somewhat questionable to me.
