Homebrew Rito Species Details

Physiology

Avian humanoids covered in feathers, rito are particularly tall and thin compared to hylians. Their narrow bodies and hollow bones make them very lightweight for their height and arm span, which eases flight. Indeed, rito have arms that double as wings, and are able to fly as a bird does. Coastal rito have hylian-like arms that slide into "sleeves" they use as wings, whereas highland rito simply have functional hands on the tips of their wings.

Rito form families and raise their hatched young one at a time over many years, in a manner very similar to hylians. A rito usually doesn't gain flight until an age of about 10 years, although the means of gaining flight varies between different rito tribes. An adult rito that is unable to fly, a fokka, is usually banished from its tribe and alienated by most rito.

Society

Due to their ability to fly, rito villages are built on mountains, islands, or other locations where most predators have difficulty reaching. Such villages are usually situated near oceans, rivers, or other fish-filled reservoirs. Although rito are omnivorous, their tribes survive primarily from hunting and fishing, and usually only partake in farmed food when it is produced by other races.

Rito culture places a relatively high value on honor and order. Postmen in Hyrule are almost universally rito, and their villages rapidly and efficiently sort parcels for all the land.
