Night Hunter
Large piecing eyes make you a exceptional nocturnal hunter. You can see minute differences in heat. Thermal vision allows you to see in complete darkness, with the slightest temperature differences on normal surfaces allowing you to see everything within range normally. However, anything significantly different in temperature stands out dramatically. For example, creatures are generally much brighter, the frosty cold from a spell much darker, even the footprints of a creature still freshly warm on the ground seem to glow.
However, you cannot see color, shades, or even whether something is a matte, satin, or shiny surface with thermal vision. You see shapes and three-dimensional textures at normal levels of detail. A commonly applied weakness of thermal vision, for example, is a total inability to see writing on paper or parchment, or symbols painted on signs.
What differences in heat or cold from the surroundings are visible is determined by the DM.
You also gain advantage on Intelligence (Investigation), Wisdom Perception), and Wisdom (Survival) checks that rely on sensing differences in temperature.
Predatory Senses
Your concave facial disc and asymmetrical ear openings allow you to pinpoint sounds. You have blindsight within 30 feet, but you cannot use this trait when deafened.
Kohuru Stealth
Your serrated feathers produce no sound while you are flying. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks while flying.
Sunlight Sensitivity
You have disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.
