(in the description of different Tar based items, the avian PC said that it would not risk touching it if it was not important enough.) this indicates that the Avian race probably had their fingers evolved from the Primary Flight Feathers of birds, which is movable in most modern birds(if you have ever handled pigeons before), and that their fingers would moult, and get stuck off by sticky things. It seems like that is the Avians from starbound had feathers for fingers. this is a long held hypothesis about humanoid or hominid-like saurischians evolving I think "dinosauroids" is a good starting point for you to look into. Id be happy to discuss this further with you if your serious about this- Id type more but I have an art deadline to meet soon. if that's the path you choose it could be very interesting. You could also do an alt earth project where some extinctions never took place or some did or some other enviernmental factors contributed to a giant manually inclined parrot or other avian species took over a hominid-like niche. It wouldn't be plausible for me to assume that an animal so close to earth's could evolve millions of light years away unless someone had a hand in it such as genetically savvy alien species who learned how to craft life themselves. This will give u a brush up on saurian history- Īs far as "one a different planet" I wouldn't count on it. Of course increase cranium size to reflect intelligence as in primates. If your looking for human-like facial features id definitely look at how owl, parrots and some galliformes are built and toggle as desired because these animals have heads we are pretty familiar with and may be able to relate to. the legs will also be very long(especially the shin). A "humanoid" bird is gonna have a barrel-like chest and a cinched waste compared to a human. Meaning you will have to manipulate the proportions and make sense of what bones do what and try to make them fit your means. That being said the abilities your looking for may be difficult at best- unless your species is a tangent from early on in the archosaurian tree far before the limbs of the saurian became rigid.īirds and saurischians have vastly different skeletons and muscular proportions to humans. only really good for climbing, flight, swimming(in some species) and running. As our friend before has stated archosaurian hands aren't very mobile for manipulation purposes. To start when it comes to "humanoid" you can definitely have a large bipedal species with a spine angled more perpendicularly like a bittern or penguin. I have a world-building project including avian/paravian-maniraptorial species and an alien species with avian-generally archosaurian qualities.
