Spread out all over the Territory are the tribal "Skins". Skin Avian are the only race in Feila with an appearance that almost echoes humanity to the T, in that they have human-appearing bodies, except with feathered wings and a tail, claws, and pointed ears. Skinned Avian often have natural markings on their bodies of differing colors, shapes, sizes, and placements. They have hair on their heads just like humans do, except that their hair is often so stiff and short that it spikes upwards. However, it can be very soft and straight too, especially in females. Skin Avian feathers and hair can be a wide variety of colors and patterns just like their more primitive and fully feathered beast cousins AKA the non-anthropomorphic, everyday bird.

As a race, Skin Avian have a special, genetic resistance to showing signs of aging, such as the general decadence of the outer body. However, there is still some noticeable pigment loss over the years, such as in the hair and feathers. The skin may also become paler. Most Beaked Avian do not show this same trait, though, a rare few do. The reasons for this inherent resistance to aging is unknown.
