ARCLIGHT PHOENIX
An arclight phoenix is variously said to be a byproduct
of a lightning strike on an aviary, a mishap in an effort
to create a translocation device, or a successful attempt
to create an elemental creature in the form of a ma-
jestic bird.
Whatever its origin, an arclight phoenix looks like a
bird of prey formed entirely of electrical energy. Light-
ning fans out behind it as it bolts from place to place
through the sky, making up in speed what it lacks in
grace and majesty. It seems happiest during natural
thunderstorms, as it darts among the clouds, gliding
alongside thunderbolts.
Elemental Nature. An arclight phoenix doesn't
require air, food, drink, or sleep.
