Rishii

Excellent hunters, the avian Rishii of the Rishi system are known for their agreeable and accepting attitude towards outsiders.

Rishii have a pair of large wings at which the ends of their are human like hands and fingers. They usually swoop down at very great speeds from cliffs and catch rodents in their talons. Thier keen senses make them excellent predators.

Rishii have little interest in technology. The items they trade with outsiders they usually use to decorate their nests. However, they are intruiged by what they call "shiny rocks", spacecraft, which allow beings without wings to fly.

Family groups live together in open-air nests built on cliffs and perches, and members of the tribe live and work together peacefully. They respect members of other tribes who come visit them, and also the offworlders that have colonized the humid lowlands.

Rishii have a talent in language. They use this talent to copy the voices and movements of other beings, which the one that they are copying finds very annoying. The Rishii, however, enjoy using their talents.
