Humanoid Avian Race?

[Ayuhra]

Someone mentioned it earlier but Garuda herself would make an interesting template for a feathered race. You could have multiple wings that are only visible when /unfurled and you're in flight.





I like this take on a humanoid face but with dark eyes and framed with feathers instead of hair.

That is actually pretty cool, and even humanoid they would have "unique" shapes of body and faces, but not mess with the "models" too much.

Seems to work with Draenai in WoW, and that is a VERY popular race because its so different. They have unhinged opposite legs, and there are already "leggings" that give you goat legs so it can work.

Horns and helmets of Au Ra worked fine. Its the same thing.

Draenei are demon like creature, like the worgen that are werewolf a bit the two type of creature people want to play. and outside the feet the draenei are fairly humanlike. the worgen of wow had even the human shape...
people asking for beast-like race are simply ignoring people point and simply say we want it. sadly i doubt you have that much people that will want to play this sort of race. then use money, time and energy for a race that will be barely played is.... well i let it to you imagination.

i will say what i have said before, it will never happend that like this. too much work will be needed for adapt the tons of equipement already existing, with each expansion more and more gears will be added and the work for adapt all this will simply too important for the little impact it will have on the game.

Love this idea, I'm always in for new races. There can never be enough diversity. Just remember the race would have to be PRETTY human like, or as other players said, they'd have to remodel way too much.

I have always loved wings! I got into Aion for a while, but I didn't like the flight limit players had. If SE brought an avian like race to ff14, I would be the happiest mmo player to ever have played an mmo and my life would truly forsake all reality. lel

Replace the claws with hands, the unique looking feet with regular human feet and change the feather hair to normal hair and you have yourself a race!

Defeating the purpose of a playable monster race when you are suggesting just another human race with relatively minor alterations. May as well not bother.

They would be cool.

Could always have it (eventually) explained that the new Avian race is actually a humanoid (because it will be if added no doubt) version of the Iksalion, in comparison to the Beast Tribe Ixali. The amount of time thats passed since then has seen them forget their true origins, just like the Ixali have.

That definition mostly refer to demons. These are suppose to be heroes with bird features. Example:

Her definiton is spot on, though. Harpies have their origins in Greek and Roman mythology and were depicted as bird/woman hybrids (bird bodies and women's heads/faces; depending on the source, they were sometimes said to be filthy and gross, sometimes said to be beautiful) that tormented people (some of them deserved it, but some of them didn't; Greek Gods were depicted as notoriously petty) and brought evildoers to the Furies for punishment. There are no no "heroes with bird features" in any historical depiction of them. The stuff that you showed there is what happens when modern culture gets ahold of mythological creatures and turns them into cute monster girls instead. Japan has a weird obsession with making everything kawaii, no matter how repulsive it is.
