Kenku

Kenku are depicted as hawk or crow like humanoids with human like arms and talons in place of feet. Kenku once had wings as well, but those were stripped away by one of their deities. Kenku are covered in black, gray, or brown feathers and have black beaks, along with a relatively humanoid build. They are more agile than humans, but they tend to be physically weaker.

They have yellow eyes, though the color red might appear as well. They are light for their size due to their hollow bones, remnants of the wings they once had. They are between two and four feet in height and weigh roughly 60 pounds. Kenku commonly wear brown robes held in place by sashes of the same color. They often conceal weapons beneath these robes.

Kenku typically work as gangs in large cities, where they gather riches through theft and robbery. They are not particularly strong, and therefore tend to use cunning rather than force.

Most kenku worship the demon prince Pazuzu, though Quorlinn is worshipped by those not so disposed toward evil. Kenku clerics usually venerate Vecna.

It was Vecna who ultimately took the Kenku's wings, as punishment for deceiving her and worshipping Pazuzu instead. This is where the Kenku come in in Neverwinter, as part of the Cult of the Howling Hatred. Most Kenku joined because the Cult leader, Aerisi Calinoth, promised them that she would return their wings. However, some Kenku saw through the facade, and joined the group opposed to the Cult.
