Skuvfyal

The Skuvfyal are a mysterious group of large, avian humanoids that resemble Harpies and the Japanese creature Tengu. that reside in the tall mountains and sky-high woods of Argosirak. They are mighty warriors that are more passive-aggressive at first, but will quickly withdraw any negative attitude at the sight of kindness, or vice-versa if any bad situation occurs at their view, therefore being head-first into any conflict.

Idaitori Fortress is their capital. They have small cities that guard their borders.

Origin & History
Ever since they were created, the Skuvfyal have been overprotective of their kind and even others if they are in danger. They built their homeland rather quickly from wood logs, building forts over forts to maintain their towns together and protected. Eventually they used stone and metal to build their homes, and weapons later on. Although they look defensive, they were on the offence as well.

Organizations
Skuvfyal make groups of fighters that have certain weapons and/or combat styles. All others simply work as cultivators, builders, medics, traders, merchants, etc. to help the soldiers.

Appearance & Traits
Skuvfyal stand about 6 to 8 feet tall. They are slim, delicate-looking, and do not fly as much, despite known to be able to fly for extensive periods. They come in many colours, usually having a light colour under their bodies and a brighter one on the rest of it. Their beaks have a smaller range of colours, such as gold, yellow, orange, white, grey, and even black. Some have spots or other markings, and can resemble real birds.

Despite being birds, they do not lay eggs. They are mammals, but unlike others, they do not feed their offspring the same way a normal mammal would. They also have small pointy teeth hidden in their beaks, therefore capable of eating harder foods than their usual group of plants. They also have small "hands" or claws on their wings.

Baby Skuvfyal are born featherless. They only show their skin which is the same colour as their blood, but more pale. As they grow their feathers will quickly grow in and as soon as they fully grow out, they are able to learn to fly. They usually take 5 years to fully grow at a physical age enough to be able to begin attempting flight. They seem to develop intelligence slower than other races, therefore speaking takes a while and a young Skuvfyal will try to communicate with bird chirps.

They are able to sing and hum like a bird as well. They also like to build nests, be it for themselves or others.
