3. Thunderbird

This giant and majestic bird resembles an eagle (or a Hippogriff, like Buckbeak) and has multiple wings with the power to conjure storms. It is closely related to the phoenix, and the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a house named after this creature.

Thunderbirds are native to the United States and have the ability to sense danger.
