Kri'ik are easily recognized by the impressive wings which spread out from their backs. These wings are not feathered, like a birds, but are covered with a fine, soft fur.
This same fur, usually golden to white in color, also covers the rest of their bodies, though not as thickly as it does on the wings. In rare individuals, the fur is red-gold or auburn in color. They have no hair on their heads like humans, nor any beard. The fur does grow more thickly on their head and wings than elsewhere, but on the face it is thinnest of all.
Kri'ik are graceful in form and movement. They are light in weight, but immensely strong for their size. Their average height is around 68 inches, but their average weight is only 100 - 120 pounds. Despite this, they are as strong as a human two to three times their weight.
Their wingspan averages over seven feet, and they are capable of flying for extended periods of time. Though not fast flyers, they are enduring ones. Their legs are not quite as strong as human legs, however, and their feet are less suited to walking long distances. Their toes are spread more, and curve in more, to allow the Kri'ik to better grasp branches and rock protrusions. Their legs are more flexible than humans', and they have no difficulty in putting their feet behind their heads. In addition, their feet are capable of limited manipulation, almost like a second set of hands.
Their arms are more similar to human arms, although their shoulders are proportionately wider than a human's both as a result of the concentration of muscle in the torso and because the skeletal structure of the wings forces the shoulder joints to be farther from the spine. Kri'ik are also more limited in bending over, since the spine becomes almost one solid bone just below the neck. Kri'ik are unable to touch their toes without bending their legs.
Kri'ik live shorter lives than humans, averaging only forty years, and they age quickly after thirty years. However, they reach maturity in only twelve years.
Kri'ik attributes are modified as follows: Coordination (Dexterity) +0 (1), Physique (Strength, Constitution) +0 (1,-1).  Kri'ik do not possess an Insight Trait, and thus cannot learn Sorcery.
