Altus

Altus is an enormous phoenix and the primary mount of Winston Lear. He is particularly selective in which humans he allows to ride or touch him.

Altus viscerally dislikes Stella and Sandoval for absolutely no reason and minimally tolerates Winston's brother and Nora. He loves Adrian, again for absolutely no reason, and has his ups and downs with everyone else.

Altus has a bad habit of getting his tail feathers entangled with Eurydia, the dragon belonging to Winston's brother. He seems to get along well with (or at least respect) non-magical cats, such as Mercurius.
