Wing Membranes You have 30 feet of flight speed if you are not wearing medium or heavy armor, but you must end your turn on the ground. While flying you cannot use any actions, bonus actions, or reactions involving your hands.

Echolocation As a Bonus action, you may close your eyes and emit a high pitched shriek only detectable to creatures with a heightened sense of hearing. You can detect the vibrations given off by this sound as they interact with the environment, granting you 30 feet of blindsight until your next turn, or about 6 seconds out of combat. You are blind outside of this sight for the duration.

Subrace There are two differing kinds of Khiropian. The smaller, more timid Coryn and the larger, cunning Dei.

Coryn Khiropian

Coryn are often found, if not amongst their own societies, among Aarakocra. They have large, front facing ears, sharper faces, and slightly longer snouts. They are often found in very studious professions, utilizing their love for gaining a deeper understanding through recognition of patterns. Often the Coryn use this innate love of study to research civilizations of the past, the cruel beauty of nature's cycles, or the arcane. Coryn are also natural Vegetarians, and their diets often consist of large amounts of fruits and insects.

Quick Takeoff You may use your bonus action to disengage. This Bonus action also allows you to move up to half your fly speed. You may do this once per short or long rest.

Dei Khiropian

With rounder faces, shorter ‘leaf shaped’ snouts, and shorter ears which face their sides, the Dei Khiropian were truly molded by a much tougher environment. Their wings, although smaller, are made from a much rougher skin, and their stature is often much more imposing and muscular. Unlike the Coryn, the Dei have a strong taste for meat, and aren’t afraid to eat it raw. Their affinity for pattern recognition is often used to gain an advantage on weaker minded prey or enemy combatants.

Natural Weapon You have thick fangs. You may make an unarmed bite attack against an enemy, dealing 1d4+Strength piercing damage, drawing blood.

Taste For Blood When making an attack with your natural weapon, as a part of the same action, you may consume the blood drawn by this attack to regain hit points equal to the damage dealt. You may only do this once per short or long rest.
