What Fantasy Animal am I?

You have risen from the ashes yet again, Phoenix! You have another 1400 years to heal the world with your tears. When you are at peace, you make the world reborn in goodness and kindness, but when you are angry you cause thunder and lightning to blast from the sky!

Your mother was a horse and your father was a griffin, giving you a horse's body and an eagle's head. Magicians and knights ride on your back to circumvent the globe and even take a trip around the dark side of the moon! You are essential in the rescue of innocent maidens and others that find themselves in peril.

You are the ultimate symbol of beauty, grace, and purity. Deep within the magical forest, you frolic with your family until a virgin asks you to heal other creatures or to purify poisoned waters. Just one touch from you can heal!

You are fierce and full of fire! But then, you're also misunderstood. It's sad that most people don't understand that you are a creature of integrity that is often protecting something or someone it holds dear. Who do these knights that bother you think they are? What rights do they have to your cave? Blast them with fire!

You just want to live on your magic mountain and be left alone. Well, those misfit toys are free to visit, but that's it. You don't have time for the nonsense of modern life. Nature and magic are much better than concrete and technology.

Nessie and Champ are your cousins. You have a few down in Africa and South America too. It's a wonder that anyone doubts your existence. You try often enough to show them that you are real. Why don't they believe? Oh well, just keep swimming!
