Racial Features

Wind-Sliced Claws

Your claws are natural melee weapons. When you hit with them, they deal 1d6 slashing damage instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. You can use Strength or Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls with these claws.

Usage: Always active

Keen to the Gale

You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. In addition, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell, and on Wisdom (Survival) checks made to follow tracks left within the last hour.

Usage: Always active

Gale Slip

As a Bonus Action, you can take the Dash or Disengage action. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. While you use this trait, your movement ignores nonmagical difficult terrain until the end of the turn.

Usage: Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest

Ability Scores Flexible 2024-style assignment; no fixed ability score bonuses are baked into the stat block.

Balance Notes This species is built to sit beside official 2024-style species such as goblin, elf, and tabaxi without exceeding their overall power. It grants one modest natural weapon, one skill-and-sense package, and one limited mobility feature at the base, while the lineages add mostly situational utility rather than raw combat damage or defenses.
