race features:
Creature Type: You are Humanoid. Flight: Because of your wings, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can't use this flying speed if you are wearing medium or heavy armour. Talons: You have talons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Wind Caller: Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the Gust of Wind spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast the spell with this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slot you have of 2dl level or higher. Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma is your spell casting ability for it when you cast Gust of Wind with this trait (choose when you select this race).

A winged people who originated on the Elemental Plane of Air, aarakocra soar through the sky wherever they wander. The first aarakocra served the Wind Dukes of Aaqa - mighty beings of air - and were imbued with a measure of their masters' power over winds. Their descendants still command echoes of that power. 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 short talons. Feathers cover their bodies, - usually red, orange, yellow, brown, or gray. Their heads are also avian, often resembling those of parrots or eagles.
