A massive flying creature made of energy, commonly a predatory bird made of fire, is a common visual metaphor for [[Limit Break
In [[Good Wings, Evil Wings|symbolism as applied to the wings]] this, just like other fire-based powers, usually given to [[Hot-Blooded]] and/or very [[Power Gives You Wings|powerful]] beings, whether "demonic" ([[The Lord of the Rings|Balrog]]), "angelic" ([[Archangel Gabriel]]) or otherwise.

* ''[[Sailor Moon|Sailor Mars]]'' Fire Soul Bird attack.
* When the {{spoiler|Invid leave Earth}} in ''[[Genesis Climber Mospeada]]'' (and of course, ''[[Robotech]]''), they take the form of a huge energy Phoenix.

She's often portrayed in fanworks with the ability to cause huge
* The Cybuster of the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series has an attack called the Akashic Buster, where it launches a bird of fire at the enemy, transforms into its own avian form and merges with the firebird, slamming into the target at high speeds.
** Likewise, its [[Evil Counterpart]] Shurouga has Ley Buster, although it doesn't create a bird-like fire, it changes into something like a bird (like Cybuster's Cybird), covered with dark power and rams the opponent and... produces [[Epileptic Trees|several interesting revelations...]]
