Feng Huang

Feng Huang, also known as Ho-ou or Ho-Oh, is a demon in the series.
==History==
 (鳳凰) are mythological birds originating from ancient Chinese belief that reign over all other birds. The males are called Feng and the females Huang. In modern times, however, such a distinction of gender is often no longer made and the Feng and Huang are blurred into a single feminine entity so that the bird can be paired with the Chinese dragon, which has male connotations. Generally, they take the form of peacock in five colors.
Fenghuang is also called the "August Rooster," since it sometimes takes the place of the rooster in the Chinese Zodiac. It is occasionally confused with the Zhuque, although non-Han variations of the Four Symbols consider both Zhuque and Fenghuang as the same creature. Feng Huang is known in Japan as Ho-O or Houou. Sometimes, it is incorrectly called the Chinese Phoenix, which originated from mythologies of different regions.
Because Fenghuang's five colors coincide with Taoist Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), they were believed to possess the quality of all five elements. Modern interpretation of Fenghuang associating primarily with the fire element is likely the result of conflation with Zhuque and Phoenix, both represent fire.

==Trivia==
* Suzaku was mistakenly translated as Feng Huang in the English localization of many games in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, including Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Shin Megami Tensei IV and Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse.
* Starting from Persona 4, Fenghuang's 3D model is based on Zhuque's old design from Shin Megami Tensei II. Zhuque itself received a new design in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers and this design is what Zhuque's 3D model is based on.
** In Shin Megami Tensei NINE, Fenghuang's 3D model is a palette swap of Zhuque's based on the design of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.
