Element: Fire
An adult Voltarian phoenix is as deadly as it is beautiful. They are able to control fire from a young age, a skill they constantly improve upon. These phoenixes should be kept away from flammable materials lest they accidentally start a fire. They are proud, temperamental creatures who hold grudges; if slighted, it is unlikely they will ever pay attention to the offender again. However, they will always forgive their magi, as phoenixes form very strong bonds with them. Voltarian phoenixes are known to collect precious stones, especially rubies and fire opals.
It can take several years for a Voltarian phoenix to reach maturity, but when they do, they are sights to behold. While females' feathers remain a dark, shimmering blue, males, after their final molt, grow brilliant flame-colored feathers. These phoenixes are best seen at night, when they can be spotted traversing the skies over Voltar. They make their homes on volcano summits close to lava flows, setting up rocky nests. Males will sing to and dance for a female; females ultimately select the male with the most brilliant song and creative dance. They pair for life and lay a single egg every few years, leaving it to incubate in hot lava.
