Tengu

Tengu bare many similarities to avian animals, including a body covered in darkly-colored plumage, arms and legs covered from the joint down in thick scales and powerful talons, and a mighty beak. Tengus often bleach and dye their feathers or decorate themselves with paints or glued ornaments. Tengus usually stand roughly the same height as humans, though are often shorter on average due to their slightly hunched builds and are always light due to their hollow bones. A tengu’s eyes sit slightly back on their head compared to most humanoids, giving their vision a slightly more panoramic field of view than other humanoids. Like many avian creatures, tengus reproduce by laying eggs.
