Phoenix Magnion (フェニック・マグマニオン, Fenikku Magumanion, "Phoenick Magmanion" in Japan) is one of the bosses of Mega Man Zero 2. Phoenix Magnion is a Mutos Reploid based on the phoenix (also called a fire bird), and was a member of Phantom's Zan'ei Army. After Phantom's death he had to work for Fighting Fefnir. He leads the guard patrol unit for a power reactor located about 100km north to the Resistance Base, which supplies electricity to a Neo Arcadian army. Magnion confuses his enemies with illusions and uses fire based attacks. Zero had the mission to destroy the power reactors that supplies energy to the factory. After destroying all of them, Magnion appears and fights against Zero, being defeated. The Power Room stage has various secret passages.

Magnion stands in place and disappears when attacked, and uses a attack when he reappears. He can stand above one minute if not attacked, but will attack without stop after this. He uses an illusion that creates 4 copies of him, shoots six arrows/feathers from his wings three times in different directions, and tries to catch the player and uses images of Vile, Agile, Colonel and Bit to attack while holding him. Sometimes he will go backward when attacked and dash at Zero. "Lava" erupts from the floor periodically. At rank A or S, he will use Rising Flame, where he will try to push Zero and them appear below him with a rising attack. Defeating him will give Zero the Flame Chip, and at rank A or S, the Tenshouzan EX Skill.

Trivia

• Phoenix Magnion is the second Reploid boss, to have the ability to "summon" defeated foes, the first one being Metal Shark Player, the latter making use of its control over Junk and perform some kind of "recycle" while the former, making a resemblance with the Phoenix ability to always resurrect, however this time, he would "resurrect" other Reploids rather than himself.
• Magnion's holograph attack is somewhat ironic because Zero doesn't directly face two of the four bosses summoned.  Agile fights X twice in Mega Man X2, long before Zero is revived.  In fact, Agile holds a part of Zero.  Zero never confronts Bit in Mega Man X3, since X always intervenes at every boss shutter, (aside for the mini boss in Doppler Stage 2).
• Blaze Heatnix is another robot based off of a phoenix that appears in the X series.
