|Physical Characteristics=* Nocturnal ~~Flyers~~ – While capable of brief bursts of powered flight, Kutharen primarily glide on the canyon winds, using their leathery wings ~~and elongated limbs~~ to soar ~~effortlessly~~ between ~~the~~ mesas.

|Physical Characteristics=* Nocturnal Gliders – While capable of brief bursts of powered flight, Kutharen primarily glide on the canyon winds, using their elongated limbs and leathery wings to soar between mesas with minimal effort.

* ~~Sonar~~ Vision – ~~They rely on~~ highly ~~advanced echolocation, allowing~~ them to ~~navigate the dark~~, ~~hunt swarming insects~~, and ~~"see" the growth of their crops through vibration mapping rather than light~~.

* Hooked Claws & Prehensile Toes – Their curved claws allow them to ~~grip onto~~ sheer rock faces, while their toes ~~function like extra fingers~~, ~~enabling delicate work like~~ harvesting ~~fruit~~, ~~weaving nets~~, ~~or crafting tools~~.

* Enhanced Night Vision – Adapted for a world of deep canyons and twilight hunting, Kutharen possess highly sensitive eyes that allow them to see clearly in near-total darkness. Their large, red-hued eyes pick up faint traces of movement, making them skilled nocturnal foragers and hunters.

* ~~Downy~~ Fur & Skin Frills – Their bodies are covered in ~~soft~~, dust-~~resistant fur~~, ~~with thin~~ frills ~~of skin~~ along their necks and ~~ears, used to~~ sense ~~shifts~~ in ~~wind~~ and temperature.

* Hooked Claws & Prehensile Toes – Their curved claws allow them to cling effortlessly to sheer rock faces, while their dexterous, finger-like toes enable precise movements for climbing, tool use, and harvesting.

* Rounded, Human-Like Ears – Unlike many winged creatures, Kutharen have small, rounded ears that sit flat against their heads. They rely on their heightened hearing and air-sensitive frills to detect shifts in the wind and approaching threats.

* Dust-Resistant Fur & Skin Frills – Their bodies are covered in fine, short fur that repels dust and sand, preventing buildup in the harsh, wind-carved canyons. Thin, flexible frills along their necks and shoulders help them sense minute changes in air pressure and temperature, allowing them to read wind currents before they take flight.

|Culture and Society=The Kutharen have found stability in the heights, where erosion is slower, and wind currents are predictable. They have cultivated a lifestyle centered on patience, precision, and harmony with the land.

*Mesa Farming & Cultivation - The Kutharen are cultivators, using their height advantage to grow crops and farm airborne insects, which they harvest as a primary food source. They weave hanging gardens of drought-resistant fruiting vines, anchored to the rock with woven sinew and hardened resin. Swarms of hive-kept burrow gnats and nectar wasps are carefully bred in hollowed-out rock chambers, producing honey-like nectar that sustains both the insects and the Kutharen.
