Greetings, Wildfire, Halphas speaking. I have been made aware of avian-shaped “Zoomorphs.” My question is, are they capable of flight? I’ve come across worlds that have humanoid avians that cannot fly. Various worlds seem random as to whether or not they can.
Avian zoomorphs are not capable of true flight. They're just too heavy, and generally the wings on their arms aren't long enough to support the weight in flight. In addition, their legs being so large and positioned for bipedal stance means even if their wings were strong enough for true flight, they'd be pretty off balance."
"That said, those wings of theirs are apparently sometimes capable of letting them glide, although this is apparently a skill they need to practice with, and keep in shape if they want to use. It's not a common skill, since people don't tend to want to take the risk of injury that tends to come with practicing gliding, but I have seen some avians attempt to parasail using their wings to... mixed results."
