Volari

Lithe, winged humanoids with colorful plumage instead of hair. Capable of gliding on their wings but not true flight. Their plumage comes in a rainbow of bright hues like parrots or macaws. It is seen as a sign of beauty and status in their culture. They build open-aired tree villages high up in the jungle canopies to take advantage of their gliding abilities. Expert climbers, they harvest fruit from the upper branches and practice canopy agriculture. Bright, tropical feathers are prized exports. Volari also trade medicinal jungle herbs. Very social, with strong bonds between wing-groups that glide together. Have an appreciation for art and nature. Life expectancy is longer than humans, around 120 years or so. Mature slowly with long childhoods spent playing and learning.
