Despite its obviously non-intelligent nature, it has an aura of majesty around it, as though it is something to be respected.'' | ''A small bird with red and orange plumage sits in a cage.

Lesser Phoenixes are cousins of the great birds that protect the good creatures of deserts. These creatures are rare like their greater versions, but are more commonly seen in the company of humanoids. Many keep Lesser Phoenixes as pets, as they can never truly die, which avoids the heartbreak associated with the deaths of most pets. | Lesser Phoenixes are cousins of the great birds that protect the good creatures of deserts.

| - | As a familiar, a Lesser Phoenix grants the ability to automatically give his master 2 HP/level when an enemy would have otherwise brought him to -10 Hit Points. If it uses its immolation power, the Wizard gains the new phoenix as a familiar as opposed to waiting a year and a day. The sorcerer still must make a Fortitude save, but the XP loss is now instead 100. Success halves that damage. | + | As a familiar, a Lesser Phoenix grants the ability to automatically give his master 2 HP/level when an enemy would have otherwise brought him to -10 Hit Points.
