I imagine a beast that is covered in flames, but is never burned. Not a phoenix though. It's body is like a gorilla and has claws like an anteater. It has really lond hair and has huge horns. It's teeth are massive and it breathes fire. It has hooves for feet and a scaly tail. It's feared by all the animals. If you get to close or seen by the creature, it'll charge towards you and burn you until you get away. :
