| Aquilans are a race of eagle-morphs known for keen eyesight and their natural ability to fly. In appearance, an Aquilan is a plantigrade, feathered creature with a pair of wings that have a pair of claw-like hands attached, each hand having three fingers and a thumb, in addition to the bones that comprise the wing. Due to this construction, they cannot fly and utilize their hands at the same time. Their feet are clawed as well, and capable of gripping, though not "prehencile", per se. They also have short "fan" tails, and their heads are eagle-like. Since they have beaks, many Aquilans have some difficulty speaking Rephidim Standard. Their standard language is Vartan, although they call it "Aquilan". While some might draw comparisons in appearance to Vartans on some factors, they are different in many ways. For one, they are strictly carnivores, unable to eat vegetables, and having to swallow stones on occasion to grind their food. For another, they are very light-boned, and not particularly strong. (Not all are "weak", per se, but you certainly don't find Aquilan body-builders...)
