Firebird is the trusty familiar of the peasant which fights enemies with fireballs.
This familiar is the second familiar available and is unlocked when you unlock Griswold, the Collector.
Familiar Information[]

targeted by a range attack.
If the target is surrounded by more Enemies, they will get hit as well.
