Homebrew Owlfolk Species Details
Owlfolk resemble anthropomorphic owls, with humanoid bodies and limbs. Their legs retain the angular bend which raptors have, as well as a foot full of razor sharp talons. Their wing ends have human prehensile hands, making them different from how aarakocra have wings separate from their arms. Owlfolk have developed longer legs and thicker bodies, where the ruffage is fluffier. This development has made their wings proportionately smaller, unable to carry their weight. They have developed good running skills, using their wings as enhancers of speed instead. Full grown owlfolk grow lengths of wingspans and are eventually able to fly.
