	The original Kenku, as said above, first appeared in the Fiend Folio. Here, they appear as humanoid hawks, having the basic frame of a human, but with bird-like feet, clawed hands, hawk wings sprouting from their backs, feathers covering their skin, and the heads of hawks. They are mischievous, magical beings who have many innate abilities that they develop as they age; alongside random spell-like abilities, they develop the ability to shape-change into a human form, turn invisible, and call lightning. They are mischievous tricksters who love to mess with people, both for fun and for profit; deception, robbery and kidnapping are their favorite ways of funding themselves.

Here, they gained a controversial new lore tweak; they lost the ability to communicate, imagine or innovate entirely, forcing them to literally imitate others to survive, pilfering or plagiarizing things that others have made and having to mimic sounds and words they have heard in order to verbally communicate. Sort of like Bumblebee in Michael Bay's [[Transformers]] movies, or [[/v/\|Jacket as presented in Payday 2]].		[[File:Kenku 5e.png\|thumb]]
