Egrets (Strix/Tengu)

## Egrets

(Strix/Tengu)

Egrets are celebrated flyers amongst the tengu and soft-hearted but hard beaked offspring amongst the strix. Egrets have the unbridled joy of flight and a natural exuberance that is hard to suppress. By a quirk of genetics, egrets no longer look like ravens nor have the black skin of strix; rather, they resemble eagles. Egrets have shorter, downturned beaks and wide eagle eyes. Their feathers are bright gold, tawny brown, or a pure white, with the potential of some darker mottling around the eyes or on the shoulders. Egrets are more powerful flyers than their strix parents, and they do not have the nocturnal tendencies or stealthy benefits of their tengu ancestry.
