Fantastic Beasts-Thunderbirds
Chapter 5
The Thunderbird is a large, avian creature native to North America, and most commonly found in Arizona in the southwestern United States. A close relative of the Phoenix, the Thunderbird can create storms as it flies and is highly sensitive to danger. A house at Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is named after this creature.
Shikoba Wolfe, who was of Choctaw descent, was primarily famous for intricately carved wands containing Thunderbird tail feathers. Wolfe wands were generally held to be extremely powerful, though difficult to master. They were particularly prized by Transfigurers.
After rescuing a Thunderbird from traffickers in Egypt around 1926, Newton Scamander named him Frank, and worked to return him to his natural habitat in Arizona. Frank was actually released in New York to help obliviate the population to a series of recent magical occurrences, but ultimately made it to Arizona.
In late 1927, Madam Seraphina Picquery, then-President of MACUSA, declared the Thunderbird a protected species, a protection that was later extended to all North American magical creatures.
The Thunderbird is described as having a head that is "similar to that of an eagle"; or, in the wizarding world, "similar to that of a Hippogriff". They possess multiple and powerful wings, with Frank the Thunderbird shown having six wings in total. Thunderbird feathers that shimmer with cloud-like patterns.The Thunderbird is known to change colours as it summons storms, its iridescent feathers shifting from various shades of gold, to electrifying blue, to grey and silver, to white, and even to deep navy.
Thunderbirds also sense danger and creates storms as it flies.
Thunderbirds' tail feather can be used as a core in a magic wand. Wands with Thunderbird tail feather are difficult to master, but powerful and are good at transfiguration work. They are also able to sense danger and cast curses on their own. They are a class XXXX.
