Biology and Ecology: When seen from afar, the Valaanix looks like nothing more than a strangely colored phoenix to the uninformed. Upon much closer inspection, however, its feathers take on more of a watery look, with tiny bits of ivy curling off the bottom of each feather, while its beak and eyes are a bright sea-green. Small, brilliant sky blue flowers bloom every so often along the vines, eventually die after a few moments and fall away, only to make room for another to blossom again, and the whole process repeats endlessly for as long as the bird draws breath. The petals of the dead flowers, as well as the water-like substance that makes up the Valaanix’s feathers, are what make up the telltale trail across the sky, like other phoenixes. It is not entirely clear what the Valaanix eats, or if it even needs to feed on anything at all, but there are rumors that it feeds off the light of Valaane itself each night as it sits atop Selen’s ominous-looking pyramid, drinking it in in much the same way a plant photosynthesizes the light from the sun into food. In typical phoenix fashion, its plumage shines more brightly at night, and even moreso during the nights when Valaane is at its fullest.

Culture: It is said that amongst the witches and lycans of Selene Island that Valaanix, the moon phoenix, is the foil to Arh’Nuk’s Gospel, the great serpent that once dwelled upon the red moon, and now makes its home beneath the sea. In an attempt to try to keep things in check with the serpent, the great green-ish white bird has made its home in the dense, humid jungles of Selene Island, to be there to do battle with Gospel should that day ever come.
