| The wings of the rathari are narrow, pointed, and strongly taper away from their body. The feathers on the trailing edge of the wing are sharp and distinctive. In addition at the base of their spine rathari have a small feathered tail. A second furry tail extends out from the muscles of the lower back and reaches to the back of their knees. Using both tails a rathari is capable of great acrobatic feats even when flying at their top speed. There is no more fast and accurate flier in the sky. The downside is that a rathari cannot fly for great distances as their wings are poorly suited to ride the thermal drafts. | The wings of the rathari are narrow, pointed, and strongly taper away from their body.

| - | The eyesight of the rathari are second only to the jundari among mortals. While flying a rathari can spot a backpack on the ground over 2 kilometers away. In addition to such accurate sight the range of colors they see is far wider than humans. Like the elves they can see into the ultraviolet. They can swivel their heads nearly one-hundred and eighty degrees (180<sup>o</sup>) and arch it up enough to see over their wings when folded. | + | The eyesight of the rathari are second only to the jundari among mortals.

| While the rathari can walk slowly fairly well they have difficulty running. Their paw-feet and their high-waisted body make even loping ungainly. Instead when in the open a rathari will step-flap-hop, step-flap-hop along the ground. This still cannot match the speed of a running human, but at least they can reach a jogging speed. This motion is impossible if the rathari cannot spread their wings. | While the rathari can walk slowly fairly well they have difficulty running.
