The Phoenix can poop out Silica pearls and black pearls

Only found on SE during heatwaves. Can cook raw meat in its inventory and smelt raw metal. Also, Jeremy just announced it will be ridable ?

Hotter than a Hot Pocket straight out of the microwave. Melts ore and cooks your meat!

Tame one during the heatwave event, then when it turns to dust, build a cage around the pile so that when it comes back next superheat event, it will be trapped!

It's little kick attack can be used to mine any ore node effectively which is the best for metal seance it can smelt metals four at a time with no other resources, they also need sulfur to eat, can be healed with fire, and poop silica pearls.

Although it doesn't land, the Phoenix regains stamina by flying idle in the air, ridden or not. It craps silica pearls, eats sulphur, and its C gathers like an axe. Hold space for its dash, right click for the fireball, and everything but the C ignites people aflame. It can smelt and cook stuff, but sadly charcoal don't happen when you put wood in it. DISSAPOINTMENT : IMMEASURABLE

It says top rated on black pearls. How?

Not only can cook meat and burn metal,mine had hide and oil in its inventory and it created gasoline.

If anyone is wondering how it’s is number 3 for black pearls it can obliterate death worms and collect pearls there.

Take 1 Giga, 3 Argies, and a Phoenix for meat runs. Put all birds on follow (player, not Giga, so if you get stuck, stand up in the saddle and they'll fly above you). Argies get black-boxed with raw meat, and all the Prime Meat goes in the Phoenix. By the time you fill the Argies and go back to base, you'll have tons of cooked Prime Meat for recipes and jerky.
