Legend

this species of small, flying creatures was native to the mountainous regions of the planet Rishi. These primitive, feathered creatures have human-like hands located at the joint in their wings, which they used to manipulate their tools. These hands were also used to wield primitive slings while hunting. They prefer to live in nests located in the tallest trees and on mountains, and have a great capacity to learn languages. The Rishii considered the offworlder who settled on their planet to be curiosities, not understanding their need to live in the lowlands. The Rishii were very interested in the "shiny rocks" used by the settlers - their spaceships - because they allowed species without natural wings to fly.
