Pheonixes

Phoenixes are literally flaming hot birds. They are able to burst into flames at any time, and can usually speak of the future. As one of the most respected creatures on the Island because of their oracular powers, they are not killed and held as powerful adversaries.

Habitat
Phoenixes are birds of great power and wisdom, and as such, decided it would be best to live where they would not harm nature. They moved to places where they could not hurt anyone or anything on the island. They reside in places such as:
 * Phoenix Forest (Where they lay thier eggs and the old come to rebirth)
 * Rocky cliffs (Mountain tops bother them because they don't like snow)
 * Sphinx Desert (Hot birds+Hot place= Hot happiness)
 * Volcanoes (As honorable and noble beasts, they try to settle disputes between Vulcans and other creatures)

Diet
Phoenixes will find many diverse ways to survive in harsh climates. They can eat almost anything, as the fire in their mouth drys out toxins and kills diseases.Every so often, they will splurge and get a big juicy piece of anything standing in their way.This is how they re-establish justice and stop predjudice against their kind. We think.

Abilities
Phoenixes are very versatile creatures. They are extremely lithe and can move their deadly talons with uncanny accuracy. They can erupt into intense flames whenever they want, and can range the heat of their flames from hot to really really really hot. (P.S. That's really hot.) But maybe the most facsinating ability of theirs is that every 100 years, they burst into really (x10) hot flames (owie) and disintegrate, being reborn into a new body the next hour. Also, as they are animals, they cannot communicate with other creatures easily. That is why they, like so many others animals, communicate with the rest of the island through the use of Dragon Riders. Also, phoenix tears have special healing properties, and can heal any affliction except for the deaths caused by stupidity (and any other death, just thought that one stood out.)

Appearance
The Phoenix is a beautiful orange, red, and yellow bird with wings that look like they are made out of fire. But, unlike any other bird, they contol their flight with fire and freely make use of this ability. As they age, they become darker in appearance, until they disintegrate into the ash color they become. Many creatures are stunned by their beauty (and vanity, believe it or not)
