  • Monster Encyclopedia: Aarakocra This Is a Series of Articles About Specific Monsters from D&D's History
    Monster ENCyclopedia: Aarakocra This is a series of articles about specific monsters from D&D's history. Each entry takes a look at the origin of one D&D creature, and tracks its appearances and evolution across different editions. This entry covers the first creature to appear in any alphabetical listing of the denizens of the worlds of D&D: the aarakocra. Contents Origins Aarakocra and magic items Wildemount 1st Edition Al-Qadim Miniatures 2nd Edition Dark Sun Computer games 3rd Edition Dragonlance Aarakocra names 4th Edition Forgotten Realms Comparative statistics 5th Edition Greyhawk References Aarakocra gods Planescape Aarakocra and other monsters Spelljammer Origins Avian humanoids are a staple feature in the folklore of many human cultures, from the ​alkonost of Russian mythology to the ​peris of Persian legends. Some Egyptian gods were depicted with the heads of birds (Horus and Thoth) or with wings attached to their arms (Isis and Nephthys). Bird people have featured in fantasy fiction at least as far back as 1750. In The​ Life and Adventures of Peter Wilkins, a Cornish Man by Robert Paltock, the titular character travels to the island of Normnbdsgrsutt which is inhabited by people who can fly with the aid of a membrane. Fiend Folio (1981) ​ It isn’t surprising then, that Dungeon & Dragons has its own race of humanoid avians. The aarakocra (or “bird-man” as the entry title suggests as an alternative) made its debut in the Fiend​ Folio, credited to Lawrence ​ Schick. Compared to many of the other creatures in the book, the aarakocra gets a generous amount of space, with a full page dedicated to its appearance, combat tactics, reproductive cycle, and culture.

    Dungeons&Dragons Collectors Checklist by Richard © 2001, version 2.7 Well met and welcome to the Collectors Checklist! I made this checklist for myself to keep track of what TSR products I own. Many times was I in the position to photocopy (“Xerox”) a module or booklet that the owner didn’t wish to sell. So gradually my collection expanded with not only genuine products but also with photocopies. Since the coming of the officially digitized classic products (PDF) it is even harder to keep track of what product you own in what format. With the Collectors Checklist you will be able to sort your whole Dungeons&Dragons collection, no matter what the format is! For those out there who haven’t got a clue, here’s how to use the Collectors Checklist: TSR-Code : The product’s publishing code Sub-Code : When a product belongs to a specific group of products it carries this code Title : The product’s title (dah!) Hardcopy : Check this if you have the original item Copy : Check this if you have a copy (Xeroxcopy for instance) of the original product PDF : Check this if you have a digital copy(.pdf/.doc/etc.) of the original product HINT: you can even write down the number when you own more than one copy of a product ; ) If you think any items are missing, please mail me at [email protected] .
