Fire hawks are large fiery bird-like creatures found in the Firelands.[1]
Background
Fire hawks are as wild as any of the creatures in the Plane of Fire, yet there is beauty in their form. While the Storm Crows struggle to fly in the high density air, the fire hawks on that ridge seem to soar with ease.[2] The fire hawks of Fireplume Peak can withstand incredible temperatures. While Fire hawks are often found circling the skies above, they're also known to swim in molten lava.[3]
They are not birds. Certainly, they fly, their wings have appearance of feathers, and even called hawks, but that is where the comparisons to bird stops. In fact, it would appear they have more in common with dragons: an affinity with fire, a solitary nature, and some indications of intelligence.[4] However, they do differ from dragons when it comes to their lifespan. Whereas the dragons can live for millennia on end, these fire hawks live brief lives, passing quickly from egg to adulthood in 2 days after birth to death.[5] It seems that fire hawks lay eggs, but in at least in the case of Alysrazor they can be created from dragons.[6]
Since the Guardians of Hyjal began stealing Fire Hawk Eggs and taking young Fire Hawk Hatchlings to train for their own uses their matriarch has taken offense to them.[7] Morthis Whisperwing wonders why Ragnaros and his minions have not made attempts to rally the Fire hawks against the Guardians of Hyjal.[8]
