Okay Jest. Since you feel so profoundly that he is not fire-based. Then what do you think he is? This thread was created to make theories onto what Parrish is. Share with us your thoughts bruh! *shakes you by the shoulders*

I can say what I think he isn't: Kitsune? No, no aura and it was just done. Dragon/draconian? No, his pupils are not reptilian. Fire-based? I originally believed so but not entirely sure anymore. Fire isn't his only invulnerability so I am hesitant to go with it.

For all we know he could be some kind of Highlander and invulnerable to everything except his head getting chopped off. Really Idk what Parrish is but I will share my opinion about his powers.

First of all, I don't think Parrish has any enhanced strength or reflexes beyond a minimal amount that an increase of adrenaline would normally give someone. I believe Parrish is able to use the emotional energies of others. I think this due to the scene in S4 when he helps out Chris Argent.

Parrish's efforts to bend the re-bar are futile until he has Chris tap into his anger or emotions in order to get his adrenaline going. Once Chris does, Parrish's eyes glow and he is able to help straighten the re-bar. Is this what really happened? Idk for sure but imo, yes.

S4 on Wolf Watch, the DJ speculated that Parrish was a Phoenix and said it was based on his surviving the fire. Jeff then said it was an "interesting" theory but then stated that we don't know if fire is the only thing Parrish is invulnerable to.

Now in S5, Parrish survives a brutal slashing by Neon Wolf so it would seem that fire is not the ONLY invulnerability he has.

As for his healing and the smoke that billowed from the wound, that could have any explanation other than fire. I think it was just the heat of his body working overtime to heal itself in a cool room and/or it just looks kind of cool to showcase his "healing" ability.
