The mythical creature that is considered the opposite of the Phoenix is the Hydra. While the Phoenix is known for its ability to rise from its ashes and be reborn, the Hydra is a multi-headed serpent-like creature that regenerates two heads for every one that is cut off, making it nearly impossible to defeat. The Phoenix symbolizes renewal and immortality, while the Hydra represents never-ending destruction and regeneration.

RossI do not know its antithesis, but there are two possibilities. One is the peacock, which symbolizes the same things the phoenix does (the sun and the moon (the cosmos); life, death, and rebirth), but the peacock symbolizes vanity, whereas the phoenix does not, at least not to my knowledge. The other is the dragon, though the dragon represents the emperor and the phoenix represents the empress, representing the yin/yang, even though the dragon is a more sinister symbol in most cases, but despite this, the dragon and phoenix are both blissful lovers and mortal enemies. Now, if you want the inversion, it might possibly be the peacock, not the dragon (since the dragon is mostly the antithesis of the griffin or elephant). Another potentiality might be the vulture, but I do not know,

Why does a mythical Phoenix set fire to itself?
The mythical phoenix sets fire to itself because that is it's own way of dying. When humans die we can die from many different reasons, but the phoenix sets fire to itself when it knows it is old and weak then it comes back to life as a new healthy phoenix. The phoenix continues this cycle of life for ever.
