Something Missing?

The Thunderbird was a large, magical avian beast native to North America, and most commonly found in Arizona in the southwestern United States. A close relative of the phoenix, the Thunderbird could create storms as it flied and was highly sensitive to danger. A House at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was named after this creature.

The Thunderbird was described as having a head that was "similar to that of an eagle"; or, in the wizarding world, "similar to that of a Hippogriff". They possessed three pairs of powerful wings, and had feathers that shimmered with cloud-like patterns.
