The Phoenix is a giant bird that feeds only on air. It lives for 500 years and then flies to Phoenicia where it builds a funeral pyre on the top of the tallest palm tree it can find and dives into it. After nine days the Phoenix is reborn from the ashes.

Since very ancient times the Phoenix has been seen as a symbol of resurrection.

Powers
Sitting in the nest, and having turned to face the rays of the sun, beating its wings, it deliberately fans the flames for itself and is consumed in the fire. Once the old body was consumed, the phoenix would be reborn from a worm, its marrow, or an egg found among the ashes and would embark on another 500 years of life.
