User blog:General MGD 109/Pheonix, Monster or not?

Okay this blog is to ask, is the Pheonix a monster or is it something else? For it to be a monster on the show it has to be a desendant of Eve, now is the Pheonix one or is it something else?

On the against it being a monster, there is the fact that why would Eve create something that could kill her? If it was her choice, wouldn't she simply not create it? Unless, it was unknown what it could do till it was created? There is also the fact Iron harms it, which despite what dean says, isn't a comman weakness of monsters, it is a coman weakness of ghosts, demons and the undead not monsters, only one known monster can be harmed by iron and that is the Shtriga. As well as that there is the face it didn't eat humans, which only three monsters (Siren, Shapeshifter and Shojo) don't do in some form. And it seemed less malicious than other monsters, as it was only killing to avenge the death's of its wife, while almost all monsters are evil.

On the For, there is the fact its main power, is similiar to only two other beings, Dragons (a monster) and Angels, and it is more likely related to the dragon than an angel. The fact Dean refers to it more than once as a monster, although dean seems to see the supernatural in only three catagories (four since he discovered angels) ghosts, demons and monsters, as he has refered to pagan gods and reapers as monsters. There is also the fact the colt can kill it, as it can with all other monsters, its other powers, immortality and superstength are comman in many (to all with superstrength) monsters. And perhaphs the greatest argument to this side, the line in the book says "the ashes of the Pheonix can burn the mother" as if its refering to Eve as the Pheonix's mother, which would make it a monster.

So which is it? A monster or something else?
