A raven or crow Avian.
Avians are bird beastfolk. In the West, avians are often equated with assorted creatures with feathered wings and go by many names, including harpies; they are frequently confused with various types of demons, despite being ordinary beastfolk.

There exist various types of avians, including ravens, crows, eagles, hawks, falcons, vultures, and owls. There seem to be no less ominous bird-shifters, such as songbirds; the closest resemblance to such a thing are sirens.
