Which elements are oxidized?

Which animals represent the elements?

• There are four elements (air, fire, water, earth) but there are also four secondary elements, or qualities (wet, warm, cold, dry). Air is primarily wet and secondarily warm. Fire is primarily warm and secondarily dry. Water is primarily cold and secondarily wet. Earth is primarily dry and secondarily cold. For the secondary elements/qualities, I need an animal that embodies the two elements it shares. For instance, for air, I was thinking an eagle. For fire, I was thinking a dragon. I thought a phoenix could capture the essence of both perfectly. Here's my list so far: Air: Eagle Fire: Dragon Water: Dolphin Earth: Deer Wet: Serpent or Toad Dry: Lion Warm: Phoenix Cold: Polar Bear
