Phoenix

A Phoenix is a bird of pure flame originally from Egyptian mythology, but has spread into popular culture. They are held in high regard for many agricultural tribes. They are very large; up to the size of a house if they live for a long enough amount of time. Phoenixes are a symbol of "Rebirth" or "Starting Anew". This is likely because they are thought to burst into flames when it's time for them to die, and are then reborn from their ashes as a chick. Some can also voluntarily turn into flames, while other can create flames while remaining in bird form. Their tears can heal wounds up to a point. Many are known to be noble creatures who have served heroes and warriors by their side.
