Rito

The Rito are bird-like people, primarily avian in appearance, possessing wings, a beak, and talons. Rito have few human features, with features covering their entire body. They have very bird-like faces, and large, feathered, wing-like hands. Their feather colors range, with the most common being green, purple, red, yellow, blue, pink, black, brown, and white. Their eyes are typically red, yellow, blue, or bright green.
Ritos feathers insulate them from harsh, freezing temperatures. Their wings and features also allow them to soar through the skies. A typical Rito cannot ascend while gliding and must make use of updrafts and winds to climb to a higher altitude. It has been known that master flyers have been able to ascend without the help of updrafts.
Rito are very protective of their friends and family and will fight to the end for loved ones.
