I Tried to Make a "Dark Phoenix"
I had this idea for my campaign where rival cults were trying to use a phoenix as a battery for their ritual. The Sun Cult wanted eternal day whereas the Cult of the Night (which had secretly infiltrated the ranks of the Sun Cult) wanted eternal night. The Corrupted Phoenix is what would be created if the Cult of the Night succeeded in corrupting the Sun Cult's ritual, but the phoenix escaped before the ritual could be completed.
What I'm looking for help with is this: for the most part, I just transposed the stat block for the 5e phoenix and changed how the damage works. What else could I add that would make this feel like it's its own creature?
