Mythical birds that exist in folklore and fantasy, often depicted as having feathers made of flames or possessing magical fire-based powers.
Compound of 'fire' and 'bird,' combining literal and mythological elements. The concept appears across many cultures—the Phoenix of Greek mythology, the Firebird of Russian folklore.
The Firebird from Russian folktales inspired both a famous ballet by Stravinsky and countless fantasy stories because the image of a bird wreathed in flames perfectly captures human imagination—combining beauty, danger, and magic in one creature.
