Dragon vs phoenix

no offense but its hard to know just based on such an inspecific version of both. in general i would say probably a dragon though. you should read the battle rules btw. welcome to comic vine also.

"a" dragon vs "a" phoenix?  I'm going with a phoenix based on the following.   The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible ...http://www.crunchyroll.com/group/Mythical_Creatures__Club

yup.  phoenix pwns in comics and myth  

If it's Dungeons & Dragons, the Dragon stomps the Phoenix.

If we are going by a 'general' dragon depiction, the Phoenix would literally engulf the Dragon. A phoenix, mythological-ly speaking, is encompassed by fire. That's where all the inspiration comes from in shows (Pokemon's Ho Oh) and the Phoenix Force (Jean). The Dragon would be unable to use its breath, and, despite its rock hard scales, the Phoenix would burn it to death if it went in close.

Phoenix

Man didn't you guys ever watch Beyblade as a kid? Dragoon always beat Dranzer when they got stronger. Though Kai was BA and Dranzer, she was much cooler.

dragon kills the phoenix later the phoenix revies.....

this is way too unspecific. it could be a frost dragon or a phoenix from guild wars that isn't on fire and has no magical abilities

Tough fight, seeing as Phoenix are made of fire. that rules out the Dragon's fire breath...but on the other hand, what can a Phoenix do to hurt a  Dragon? other then the fact that it's made of fire and can rise from it's ashes upon death, what other powers do they have? and how will they be able to hurt a Dragon? also in most continuity Dragons skin is imune to fire right? until some one more knowledgeable on this subject can enlighten me on something I'm not aware of, I'm gonna say its a stalemate.

even the phoenix we knows from the comicbook?? look i have to totally admit i havent even read a single issue of dungeons and dragons but i thought PF was pretty much undefeatable (well she did admit she was less powerful than LT, but then that's goddam LT) 

@alcoholbob: i agree and d&d is where the discussion originally arose but despite my claim to the dragons side my friend stuck with the resurrection as his argument for why the phoenix could not lose so we ended at stale mate and chose to post it on here

Phoenix just comes back. It's basically a dragon with revive.

Phoenix Would Win in a Fight Against Because Even if Dragon Inflate His fire on Phoenix. Phoenix Will Not Die Because Phoenix is a Fire Bird.

bump

Could be wrong but in some depictions I believe the Phoenix is a large magical bird that basically makes a pyre of its nest at the end of its life cycle. It burns to ash and then is reborn. There is only ever 1 in existence at any given time.

I don't think they are necessarily always on fire.

I can't think of any Phoenix related combat feats. The only active Phoenix character I can think of is Needle from the "Conan the Adventurer" cartoon. His sidekick, Needle (a juvenile Phoenix) did help him out a lot but rarely did he actually fight anything.

Dragons, on the other hand, are a common scourge in fantasy worlds. Plenty of feats to pull from. In Skyrim dragons were the leading causes of death and injury right after my Chaotic Evil Dragonborn and arrows to the knee.

Dragon wins. Phoenix resurrects later. Although, if a Phoenix were to resurrect in a fiery explosion inside a gassy dragon gullet...

Moltres from pokmeon is suppose to be a phoenix and has some decent feats but top tier dragons from pokemon are stronger.

Time, space, and anti matter control.

Vague thread is vague.

Dragon. It has the power to do whatever it wants.

In d&d and pathfinder a Phoenix can be killed even after it revives by a spell called disintegrate. A phoenix can self-resurrect only once per year. If a phoenix dies a second time before that year passes, its death is permanent. So I'm going to say dragon

Dragons are cooler, so they win

Even Dragon Fires a Fire Breath on Phoenix, Phoenix Won't Die Because Phoenix Is Made of Fire.

@killemall: Nicol Bolas says hi.

Phoenix stomps

Phoenix is immortal. That's like its most known trait. Dragon will lose eventually and it has no way to out down a Phoenix.
