Lost Beasts of the Forgotten World

The Lost Beasts are eight powerful mystical creatures that served under the legendary Wizard King Urion. After Urion's death, however, his wicked child Tiberius cursed these beasts to never again have physical bodies but to live on in a succession of different vessels. In the first book, the only one of these beasts that makes an appearance is Phoenix. However, Daniel Baudelaire is told by the elders at the end of the book that there are other vessels whose locations have been discovered around the world implying that we shall be seeing more of them in the coming books.
