Homebrew Half Metal Giant Aarakocra Species Details

This is an exceedingly rare race born from the cross between an Aarakocra and an Earth Giant powerful enough to transform into a Metal Giant.

They heavily resemble Aarakocra except they are taller, more muscular, and too heavy to fly due to having metallic wings. They also tend to be outcasts and fail to find places among other Aarakocra and tend to never know the Giant side of their heritage. As a result, they usually fail to pick up on various Aarakocra behaviors and mannerisms. They still get distracted by shiny or pretty things, however. 

They traditionally have standard Aarakocra names 

(This was basically an attempt to recreate a character I came up with for a non-d&d related story I want to make. I made this homebrew off the cuff late at night so it's probably totally unbalanced. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.)
