The term 'legendary bird' refers to two mythical creatures, the PHOENIX and the ROC. The PHOENIX is a long-lived bird that is cyclically regenerated or reborn. It is associated with the sun, and is often described as being radiantly colorful. The ROC is a giant bird of prey from Arabian mythology, said to be so large that it could carry off an elephant in its talons. Both the PHOENIX and the ROC are symbols of strength, power, and immortality.
