Kenku

Kenku are a race of flightless avian humanoids resembling large corvids. In place of wings, kenku posses clawed, scaly hands. The most notable trait of the kenku is their ability to mimic virtually any sound, voice, or speech they have heard. This comes at the cost of being able to produce speech of their own; instead having to rely on conjunctions of things they have heard to try to convey thoughts of their own. Legend stats that the reason for their inability to speak comes from a curse placed upon them by the goddess Aelona for unintentional spreading the lies of Fengorath.
