The Stryx of Suncrest believe Sunbirds are the offspring of the mythical Phoenix, certainly they possess the ability to erupt into flame and then reform from their ashes, much as the Phoenix did in legends and stories. As such, the Stryx revere these creatures and would instantly strike down any outsiders who tried to harm or capture one!
Similar to Sunbirds are Thunderbirds, though somewhat smaller, and of a slightly different hue. The Stryx can tell the two apart quite easily, and regard Thunderbirds as a menace, since they regularly ruin crops. For the rest of us, the only means of reliably differentiating the two is that Sunbirds have one more pinion feather on their wing, which makes telling the two apart simply… a matter of a pinion…

I’ve looked through every troop and the part about it dying I’m 95% sure won’t be part of why it’s good, other than the obvious as a lead troop you can resurrect when it’s gotten too much skull damage.
My guess is that the plan is to boost its life, probably via justice for looping. Furthermore, it’s a beast so can start with 50% mana with Forest Guardian. Have to imagine life boosting the only real viable build for this.
