Moltres

Description
Moltres takes the form of a large bird with flame-colored plumage, resembling a phoenix. Its dazzling wings and elaborate head crest are engulfed in fire. It has a straight, pointed brown beak, which is the same colour as its feet. It can shoot out powerful, overwhelming fire. Those who see it are encased by its fiery wings. Moltres is part of the Legendary Bird trio along with Articuno and Zapdos. Compared to the other legendary birds, it has the smallest feet and legs. However, it is the largest of the legendary birds, though its flames make up a good portion of its bulk. Moltres' name comes from combining the terms "mol" (from molten, as in lava) and "tres", which is Spanish for three. The other two birds have similar naming conventions. All three legendary birds have meaning in name choice, as they come from nature's elements combined with numerals (In Spanish).

Storyline
