Kenku

Kenku are a race of flightless avian humanoids. They tend to be selfish and secretive in nature and are often engaged in plots to acquire wealth and power. They operate in small gangs and often live in large cities, where they tend to work as spies, assassins, or thieves.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Although they have evolved from avians, kenku have no wings or capacity for flight. Instead, they have arms in place of wings and bird-like talons for hands and feet. They retain bird-like features, however, with black and beady eyes and a long dark-hued beak. Head and torso are covered with soft feathers, with shades from russet-brown to raven black. Their scrawny limbs are bare and scaled like a bird's.
Kenku tend to be slightly smaller than the average human, standing at around 5 feet tall. Because they have partially hollow bones, they are lighter than most creatures their height, averaging just 35kg. They are therefore not as strong, but are more agile and dexterous.
