Avian

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.

Types

These bird-folk come in many varieties and live in all parts of the world. They are some of the most numerous of the beastmen, alongside saurians. 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.

Culture

Usually dwelling in the mountains, the eagle-men hunt alone, while groups of crow- and vulture-men scavenge for food in large, terrifying flocks. The nature of avian culture is a mystery, as they generally roost high along mountains and in other areas that men cannot easily reach.
