Aeolyte

In the Squawk Role-Playing Game, aeolytes are enormous flying birds. The ability to fly makes aeolytes valuable as messengers. Male aeolytes have more flamboyant coloring than the females. Aeolyte speech sounds like low, hoarse bird noises.

Lighter than most intelligent species but large enough to limit maneuverability while flying, aeolytes can weild a relatively large weapon with either of their powerful talons while flying or hopping on one leg.
