IkwiikwiiThe Ikwiikwii live in the forests of Kikoto, they live in small families of no more than 4 members, and have no towns or cities. Instead once a child reaches adulthood they move to cities of the Lapines and will often live there until having met a mate, at which point they return to their forests and build their own home.
Ikwiikwii are a shy people who are slow to trust others, but once they do become firm friends throughout the rest of their life, as a species the Ikwiikwii have become friends with the Lapines.
The Ikwiikwii are occasionally bothered by Charcharions looking for an easy meal, though the biggest threat to them are the Aarakocra who reside in the mountains nearby.

Racial Feat: Owlbear Savagery
Prerequisite: Ikwiiwii, 8th Level
You have retained some of the primal savagery of your ancestors. As an action, you become a savage owlbear for up to 1 hour. For the duration, you gain the following benefits:
- Your size doubles in all dimensions, and your weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases your size by one category—from Small to Medium, for example.
- Your movement speed increases by 10 feet.
- You have advantage on Strength checks, Strength saving throws, and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell.
- Your claws become a d8.
- If you take the attack action using your claws and there is nothing else in your hands, you gain the Extra Attackfeature if you do not already have it. When you take the attack action using your claws in this manner, you can make an additional attack as a bonus action with your beak, which deals piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength Modifier.
You can resume your small stature using your bonus action. This ability only works upon your ikwiikii form, and its effects cease if you assume other forms, for example, through a Wild Shape or Polymorph spell. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you complete a long rest.
