The Infernal Aves, or colloquially known as the Phoenix, are a small but varied group of highly specialized and adapted repot-avians.

This combustable creature has spawned countless myths and legends due to its unique pyro adaptation.

Their feathers are light yet hard, scale like, forming an almost impenetrable armor which protects them from their environment and also their burning adaptation. The Infernal Aves live exclusively along volcanic terrain. Without it they would be incapable of combustion. It is the combination of sediment/minerals from the environment and the combustible enzymes produced and secreted from it’s body that ignite the flaming bird  They also use the ambient heat of it’s environment to incubate a single egg that is buried and abandoned. This form of parenting, or lack there of, lead to the belief that the phoenix dies and is reborn from a single egg. This form of nesting is seen across all species.

While all Infernal Aves are fire capable each species has varying degrees of it.

Despite folklore phoenixes do not remain ablaze for extended periods of time, it is largely a last ditch escape effort. Or in some cases part of mating displays in males. While their bodies are relatively fire resistant it is not entirely, continued fires will ear away at its protective coating that covered their feathers.

My infernal hound brings me coffee, always at the perfect temperature! ☕️🔥⁠

The prompt definitely made me think more skulls and fire but, I wanted to try a more lighthearted idea.⁠

Creatuanary 2024: January 22nd

Varsha, a zephyr harpy, is an entrepreneur. She has opened up a shop that only sells fans. For some reason, a number of people who have wandered in have been confused as to the purpose of the shop.

Creatuanary Day 16: Naiad (Water Nymph)

[vcreatures]

The Fire Phoenix is neither fire breather nor a phoenix, but rather a drake. It gets its name from it's flashy appearance. It’s body is speckled in bioluminescence and males grow large, impressive boney crests that are also pitted with light. These warm red lights, paired with it’s unique call can give the illusion of a combusting beast when in motion which lead some to believe it was a member of the infernal avians

Don't let his small size fool you. He has a big appetite! Voracious little bugger.⁠

⁠A little fire sprite for Creatuanary. I was trying to think of what animals could be associated with fire, and thought of salamanders! I just love his lil face 😭❤️ I imagine if he ever gets to sate his appetite, he could grow quite large and fearsome!⁠

My art is not meant to be biblically accurate at all! Just for fun.
