Mutation 2.0 - jockey blood eagle

The blood eagle is a ritualized method of execution, detailed in late skaldic poetry. According to the two instances mentioned in the Sagas, the victims (in both cases members of royal families) were placed in a prone position, their ribs severed from the spine with a sharp tool, and their lungs pulled through the opening to create a pair of wings. There is continuing debate about whether the ritual was a literary invention, a mistranslation of the original texts, or an authentic historical practice.
