Eagle Phoenix

The Eagle Phoenix (Phoenix Aquilus) is a phoenid magical bird.

Physical Description
Eagle Phoenixes are very similar to eagles and other birds of prey, possessing large, sharp talons and a big beak. They share the Common Phoenix's long tail and flamboyant coloring, though Eagle Phoenixes' feathers lean more towards red than gold.

Behaviour
The Eagle Phoenix is predatorous and much more aggressive than the Common Phoenix. They have never been tamed, though they share their Common counterpart's reluctance to attack morally upstanding beings. Like Common Phoenixes, Eagle Phoenixes mate rarely, but, if they do, do so for life.

Burning Days and Immortality
Like Common Phoenixes, Eagle Phoenixes are known for their immortality. When reaching the state where they would normally die of old age, Eagle Phoenixes burst into magical flames which consume them; a new chick will then emerge from the ashes, retaining the Phoenix's memories. These events are somewhat cyclic and are known as Burning Days.

Phoenix Travel
Eagle Phoenixes are capable of bursting into flames and reappearing instantly in another location. There are no known limits to the range of Phoenix Travel, nor to the load they can carry along. It is impossible to block using wizard magic.

History
Common Phoenixes have existed for as long as wizards have been there to record their presence, ruling out their being a wizard-engineered species. How far back they date is unknown, as, being immortal, Phoenixes left no dead remains to be studied and dated.

Ministry Classification
Eagle Phoenixes are classified by the British Ministry of Magic as Beasts of XXXXX threat level.
