Phoenixes

Appearance
Phoenixes look nearly identical to those of legend. Upon taking flight, Phoenixes light up with flame, and while they can do this on the ground as an attack, this takes more energy to do. Phoenixes make up about 4% of the bird population. They are often pets of Zeridians due to their element. Despite being birds, Phoenixes can speak any language, if taught. They are extremely loyal to their owner and are only loyal to those they are close to. They have a soul bond to their owners, and they know if their owner dies or is being hurt, and vice versa. They are also able to sense their owner's presence. They are 76% Fire and 24% Organic.

Abilities

 * Flight - They are able to fly
 * Flame - They can engulf themselves in flame, and older phoenixes can breathe fire.
 * Rebirth - When a phoenix dies, it turns to ash and comes back as a newborn from that ash.
 * Soul Transfer - A phoenix can give its life to a dead person, however when it does this it will die for good.
 * Telepathic Communication - While they can speak, a Phoenix can speak telepathically to its owner. If the owner is sleeping or unconscious, or in any state of being unable to respond, a Phoenix can give them a message.
 * They are nearly immune to fire, including magical fire, but are weak to dark fire.
