Description: The phoenix was extinct save for one last remaining survivor, a male residing in Xanth's temple garden where it was given sanctuary, shelter and as much food as it required in an effort to keep the species alive. It unfortunately met with an accident and soon died. Phoenix birds, like khimaira, don't actually die when killed, however. Instead, it too splits into two younger and smaller creatures, giving rise to the myth of its resurrection. This process does not happen for each and every phoenix, however, and it was pure luck the last survivor resurrected at all.

With cultivation and nurturing, the phoenix race has increased in number with a few released into the wild of the Fae Forest but they are still incredibly rare creatures. Not much is known about them except that, unlike with khimaira which gradually shrink with each resurrection, phoenix do grow to full adulthood after their rebirth. Though they are highly desirable as pets and trophies, it's illegal to hunt them.

Abilities: Dead phoenix sometimes resurrect as two younger and smaller creatures but this does not happen with every death.
