Homebrew Aasimar-aarakocra Species Details
Sequestered in high mountains atop tall trees, the Aasimar-aarakocra evoke fear and wonder. Descended from humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia on one side and humanoid birdfolk on the other, they are truly a sight to see.
Appearance
Aasimar-aarakocra look much like large birds. Only when they descend to roost on a branch or walk across the ground does their humanoid appearance reveal itself. Standing upright, Aasimar-aarakocra might reach 5 feet tall, and they have long, narrow legs that taper to sharp talons.
Feathers cover their bodies. Males are brightly colored, with feathers of red, orange, or yellow. Females have more subdued colors, usually brown or gray. Their heads complete the avian appearance, being something like a parrot or eagle with distinct tribal variations.
They may also have luminous features which reveal their celestial heritage, separating them from other birdfolk.
