Homebrew Avali Species Details

Avali tend to have four ears, both furry and containing scales and feathers in choice places. They have an extended range of ‘hair’ on their heads, ranging from long and spiky or short and feathery. They form a type of ‘mane’ along the backs of their heads. They have patches of colors that is akin to skin color that’s between 2 to 8 different tones, usually in a design covering the feathers and the fur itself.

Avali have raptor-like legs and feet with reptilian scales along the front of their feet. Their hands consist of two fingers and a thumb with claws at the end of the hands and feet. Their entire body structure is raptor-like, with tails of either a chimera or lion with ends being a large feather rather than fur. The base of the tail has a drape of feathers leading up to the back. The arms also have feathers. Their eyes are trapezoidal in shape rather than ovular and tend to be nothing but a pupil with an iris rim and a film covering the eyes for protection, as they don’t blink. Their eyes are wide, increasing their field of view but lack focus. Their head structure is a furry, raptor-like lizard type that is more rounded than the raptors that are known. They tend to have clothing made of a type of nanofiber, in which their clothing also acts as a sort of armor. The type varies in shapes and sizes, usually being bell-shaped overcoats and tundra/Indian style drapes.
