A birdman is half male human, half bird. He has the body of a human but from the knees down he has bird feet. He has both arms and wings on his back. His while back is covered with feathers and he has a large tail of feathers too. His eyes are totally black like those of birds and he may or may not have feathers in his hair.
There used to be both male and female bird-humans, but the corruption of Ghor has driven the female counterpart of the birdman to curse their males so they could no longer create offspring together. Since the curse they are seen as two separate species, birdmen and harpies. A birdman has the ability to disguise himself as a normal human being as well as the power of persuasion and the ability to alter memories. Their curse forces them to impregnate a virgin woman and she will lay a single egg within weeks. Most of the young girls or women they mate with have to be abducted by them but don’t remember much of the encounter afterwards. Their children will be exclusive male. Though the birdmen aren’t actually evil the curse the harpies cast on them did force them into doing things they were against in order to survive. Now most of them are neutral at best, but there are also birdmen who have become evil, mostly due to corruption by Ghor.
