Aarakocra Name Generator & Guide

Aarakocra is essentially a humanoid bird creature. Averaging around 5 feet in height, they have wings that span around 20 feet, making them proficient flyers. Per latest, 5e, rules, they have arms as well, though with fewer fingers than humans do.

Their legs are powerful, with four talons that can fold and unfold, providing proficient means to grab and hold onto something. Their bones are rather hollow, for easier flight, and their head resembles a parrot and an eagle at the same time.

They live atop of the highest mountain peaks, in small tribes. Each has its own hunting territory. Since they are excellent flyers, they prefer to fight from range. Their favorite weapon is most definitely a javelin.
