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.

Rebirth

Then, in an explosive blast of scalding brilliance, the burning ash is forcefully scattered by the violent, glorious rebirth of a blazing red phoenix!
