Homebrew Duskwings Species Details

Duskwings are a refined race of bat like humanoid creatures. They are not vampires and thus are not undead despite popular myths. They can however use their cloak like wings to glide gracefully and even propel themselves giving them a flight speed greater than their rather slow and deliberate movements on the ground.

They use their skills in stealth, their ability to see in pitch black darkness including magical darkness, and their graceful and delicate movements to become some of the deadliest assassins and trusted spies in the world. They tend to take great pride in their grace and balance and tend to obsess over objects of their desire which while providing them with a ceaseless vigor to obtain their goals it can blind them and make them seem single minded.

They have extremely powerful retractable digging claws on their hands and feet that can allow them to burrow through solid ground and if improved with magic or even the proper equipment even solid stone or metal. This allows them to not only move freely in the air and quietly on the ground but underground. They are also skilled swimmers using their gliding wings and digging claws to aid their movement.
