Taako's first act is to use something new-- an ability that came packaged along with his Spark, it seems, or at least its separation into a tangible object. Seemingly from within him, he summons what can only be described as a phoenix-- the creature is enormous, larger than an eagle, and its feathers shimmer with an internal flame, its talons long and shining, shards of black glass in the sunlight.

With a tilt of Taako's head, the creature launches itself towards Cole, those razor-sharp talons spread open and reaching to grab whatever piece of him isn't moved away fast enough.
