Composed entirely of elemental flame, the majestic blazing red phoenix resembles a deadly bird of prey, with a short hooked beak, a compact muscular frame, wide wingspan, and sharp talons.  Its unearthly form is a constant wreathing of elemental fire that is at once blinding as it is scalding.

Hunting Strategies

Will attempt a rebirth maneuver, resurrecting itself when killed. The chance to successfully perform this is increased substantially if there is a living Ash Guardian in the room.

Phoenixes are able to burn away the effects of Web (118):

The phoenix releases a torrent of elemental fire from its body, instantly disintegrating the webs attempting to ensnare it.

Other disables such as Bind (214) and the root flare from Sigil Staves are not affected by this ability.

Phoenixes take an extra cycle of damage from cold elemental attacks:

You gesture at a blazing red phoenix.
You hurl a freezing ball of pure cold at a blazing red phoenix!
  AS: +444 vs DS: +291 with AvD: +39 + d100 roll: +5 = +197
   ... and hit for 28 points of damage!
   Almost missed!  A pair of gloves would have helped!
The freezing ball of pure cold strikes a blazing red phoenix, blossoming into a much larger sphere of frost upon impact.
   ... 5 points of damage!
   The blazing red phoenix winces at the cold blast to the right arm.
The phoenix screeches piercingly as the icy chill dampens its fire!
   ... 15 points of damage!
   The blazing red phoenix's right arm trembles with the cold.

Phoenixes are immune to death from fatal criticals:

Double fire flares/Mage Armor (520)

Phoenixes have the fire aspect of Mage Armor, meaning that any bolt or melee attack has the potential for fire flares. They also receive fire flares on all melee attacks due to their magical beak, so there is the potential for a double fire flare on melee attacks!

Rebirth

The ashen remains of the phoenix smolder fitfully.  Slowly, the flakes begin to drift upward, swirling in a widening gyre thick with smoke and sparks.  Then, in an explosive blast of scalding brilliance, the burning ash is forcefully scattered by the violent, glorious rebirth of a blazing red phoenix!
