Kenku

Kenku are humanoid flightless birds who have an evil disposition. They tend to be selfish and secretive in nature and are often engaged in plots to acquire more wealth and power. They tend to travel in small groups and often live in large human cities, especially in southern Faerûn, where they often work as spies, assassins or thieves.

Combat
Kenku are cowardly by nature and will usually flee when a battle turns in their opponent's favor. Kenku often use a short sword or short bow in combat but may also rake an opponent with their claws.

Society
Kenkus live in family groups, often near large cities. Once they reach adulthood at age nine they leave their nest forever and band together with other young adult Kenkus.

Appearance
Kenku have arms in place of wings and talons for feet. Their coloration may range from russet to black. Kenku tend to be slightly smaller than the average human. Because they have hollow bones they tend to be lighter than most creatures their height.
