Aarakokra

A winged people who originated on the Elemental Plane of Air, aarakocra soar through the sky wherever they wander. The first aarakocra had powerful elemental powers, but they could not be away from Breezscea for long, for it would weaken and eventually kill them. Their descendants have better adapted to the material panes, indeed some will never sea the Air Plane during their lives, though they do not have the innate arcane elemental abilities of their forbearers, they still command echoes of that power.

Basic Information

Biological Traits

From below, aarakocra look like large birds and thus are sometimes called birdfolk. Only when they roost on a branch or walk across the ground is their Humanoid nature clear. Standing upright, aarakocra are typically about 5 feet tall, and they have long, narrow legs that taper to sharp talons. Feathers cover their bodies—usually red, orange, yellow, brown, or gray. Their heads are also avian, often resembling those of parrots or eagles.
