Nice job. How about a one of a kind phoenix based on the African description of the phoenix.
According to the Greeks' Herodotus and Plutarch, the Phoenix was a mythical Ethiopian bird possessing extraordinary longevity. The 8th century BC Greek poet Hesiod thought the Phoenix lived nine times the life-span of the long-living raven. Other estimates went up to a lifespan of 97,200 years. The original Egyptian bird model for the Phoenix was probably the horned, winged sun disc or a heron (a wading bird with a long neck, long bill, and long legs)--both said to have been the first creature to alight on the hill that came into being out of the primordial ooze. About the size of an eagle (and resembling an eagle), this bird's head is finely crested with beautiful plumage. Its neck is covered with gold colored feathers; its tail is white; and its body is clad in the color purple (or crimson)-the colors of the rising sun. Legend says that only one Phoenix can live at a time.
