Kenku

In Nusantara, it is common to see black birds with some kind of maroon color on their chest and back. The humanoid form of those types of birds is the Kenku. The story goes that Kala, son of Waktu and current god of the underworld did a great purge of the underworld. As these souls left the underworld, they became the Kenku. The Kenku believe they are exiled from the underworld and that when they die they are reincarnated again as a curse to keep living on. With this curse they often have visions of previous lives when attempting to spiritually connect with their past. To avoid this, they attempt to stay as far from the ground as possible avoiding the underworld at all costs.
