Physiology
The Phoenix are actually mammals; the Pelted, creating them, did not want to make such extreme modifications to the reproductive cycle. Since one of their aims was to understand their own genetic problems, they retained the mammalian template so they could continue their studies and applied what they felt to be cosmetic alterations: the wings, the tail, the long-billed head. The engineers for the project found a low-gravity world and began tailoring the species so that it could fly there, and they succeeded. Everything they’d learned from examining themselves and then making the Glaseah and Ciracaana paid off handsomely. Of the three third generation races, the Phoenix are the most polished in design, and are as viable as a naturally evolved species.[1]

Customs
- A gift of feathers from a Phoenix is a significant offering, especially if the feather is long enough to decorate one's aerie, rather than one's person. [2]
Stereotypes
Common Family Structures
- An Eye-trained Phoenix is allowed to fly a banner at his aerie when he wins a battle, but he has to be given the banner by someone whose life was saved there. He needs five such banners before he can request a mate. [2]
