Phoenixes

== Anatomy and Physiology ==
The typical phoenix is a four-limbed, avian bipedal Feralian of large size.
Like other Ignids, phoenixes have a long forked tail, a long neck, large wings, and a crest of feathers on their heads. Phoenixes can be distinguished from their cousins the zhuques by their four-limbed build and the larger, broader shape of their wings.
The standard color of zhuques is a bright red or orange, commonly fading to a bright orange or yellow on the edges of the wings and the tips of the crest and tail feathers.
There are several other unusual color patterns seen in phoenixes, including:
*Leucism: Where all of the phoenixes fathers appear to be a light cream.
*Melanism: Where all of the phoenixes feathers appear to be a dark grey or brown instead of red.
*Mottling: Where the phoenix displays dark brown or grey mottling around the edges of their feathers. This typically develops as a Phoenix ages and seeing a young zhuque with those markings is incredibly unusual.
In all cases, these traits are rare and tend to run in families.
