Monster Manual from A to Z: A is for... Aarakocra!

The first monster mentioned in the Monster Manual is the birdlike humanoid called the Aarakocra. If I am not mistaken, when Xanathar's Guide for Everything came out, it also gave the character building needs for Players wanting to play as one of these warriors.

**I did some more research and now cannot locate where the Aarakocra build info came from (I do lots of online research so it may have been a homebrew wiki) so if you have any info about building an Aarakocra PC for others, leave a link or something in the comments!**

I didn't think about how much detail that come with feathers! But it was a fun and involved first monster!

I will include this dude's stat block for reference.



To be clear, I don't own any of Wizards of the Coast's intellectual property. I am only sharing this for the ease of use of any players. Any extra information regarding this creature can be found at a variety of sources including the Monster Manual, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, and various D&D wikis such as this one.

The Stat Block for Aarakocras as presented in the Monster Manual (1)

 Now regardless of your opinion on if the Aarakocra have an unfair advantage due to their flight ability, you must admit they are pretty cool looking.

So if you play as one, or use some in a campaign... Let's appreciate these feathered friends!

One down! Onward towards the next creature!

Cheers all! Be lovely and kind to one another~
