Kenku

Kenku are a race of flightless avian humanoids, who often come across as selfish and secretive, mostly owing to their selfish and secretive nature.   Kenku have had no wings or capacity for flight; instead, they have arms in place of wings and bird-like talons for hands and feet. Their faces have bird-like features, with black and beady eyes and a long dark-hued beak. The head and torso of a Kenku are covered with soft feathers, while their scrawny limbs are bare and scaled like a bird's.   Kenku tend to be slightly smaller than the average human, standing at around five feet. Due to their partially hollow bones, and their bizarre vanity regarding their weight, they are lighter than most creatures their height,   Kenku have an affinity for shiny things, and they have a hard time resisting any shiny object that isn't nailed down – if it can be pried loose, then it wasn't nailed down.
