question about the phoenix..

[Dohickey]

when the phoenix is devoured by a creature, why does it leave an ash outside the belly of the beast?

In flavor, I would say this:

The otyugh/scarab/mutant snatches up the phoenix in its jaws, and kills it with a sharp blow. The meat of the prey, which provides the bonus, slides down the throat, but the ash, being the powder that it is, slips between gaps in the teeth, thus winding up on the ground.

I don't know, just my theory

[kobisjeruk]

actually any creatures that ate phoenix/minor phoenix will crapped ash instead of the usual shiet
its the magical power of dem phoenix man
kinda like flying ponies with horn farting rainbows etc

Depends on the myth that you follow ... some would have it that the Phoenix turns to ash instantly when it is killed. So, if the Otyugh bites through its neck then it turns to a pile of ash, some of which falls to the ground ...

Then the real question would be what would happen if you gave devour ability to an Ash Eater?

they devour flesh, not bones or ash.
