Phoenix

Also known as the firebird, the Phoenix is a majestic bird with a metallic plumage in coppery red. It is similar in appearance to an eagle but much larger with a wingspan of 3.5 meters and 2 meters from head to tail. Their eyes reflect their mental state and are dark or black when resting but glowing with bright red light when they are hunting.

Phoenixes are only found close to volcanoes or areas with volcanic activity. They are highly territorial and once engaged in a fight they will keep on fighting until they are dead. Phoenixes live their lives in solitude until they find a mate, from which point they share the rest of their lives together.

Phoenixes possesses the ability to set themselves on fire, which they do in combat but not when hunting. They are also immune to all but the most intense heat and fire.

When a phoenix dies it will quickly turn into ash. In rare occasions they have been known to reborn from these ashes, although more commonly they reproduce in the ordinary fashion of most birds: by laying eggs.
