Aarakocra
Aarakocras are mythical creatures said to be living in the peaks of Delvheim’s mountains. They are described in myths, fables and legends humanoids with bird-like features. Sometimes they have a human shape but bird wings, and other times their face is one of a bird as well. Due to these inconsistencies, many scholars doubt their existence, but the vast number of legends featuring these creatures lets us hypothetize that there must be a core of truth to this legend. Recent fossil discoveries are also advancing the hypothesis that aarakocras inhabited the realm in a time predating dwarves, and are now extinct.
Similarly to birds, aarakocras are said to have a very various, omnivorous diet. They are also always pictured as extremely intelligent creatures, easily comparable to humans, if not superior.
