The Adaro are pack hunters using sharks to overwhelm the opponent with the Skirmish and Set Up stunts while they charge in and hope to get off a Mighty Blow, Knock Prone, or Poisoned Spear stunt.
If things are looking bleak they can always call in another Adaro or more Sharks for help, assuming more are nearby which they usually are. As a very situational ability they have Rain Frenzy which makes an Adaro quite the formidable foe, using Mighty Blows as much as possible to destroy their enemies.

Aracoix
Of all the new creatures encountered since the Turning, the avian humanoids who Men have come to call Aracoix are the most remarkable. At first many thought them to be nothing more than a strange, sorcerous fusion of Man and Hawk, perhaps created by the Elves to use as slaves and soldiers. Others thought them to be old creatures previously undiscovered, who had lived in some isolated corner of the World but now roamed far through the use of the Runegates. Magi and Loremasters now believe Birdmen are creatures from another World entirely, who have journeyed to the fragments of our World by methods unknown. Civilized and noble, the Birdmen are a race barely understood by the other Children of the World. When first encountered, Humans judged the Aracoix to be primitive and savage aberrations, but time has proven these assumptions completely incorrect. Hunted without mercy and driven into hiding, the Aracoix are fierce warriors and brilliant hunters that bear little love or trust for any of the peoples of the World. Rumors tell that the Aracoix disdain all Gods and religions, and are profoundly suspicious of all Magic.

The Aracoix are a proud warrior race that prides itself in it's military strength. They typically use spears and throwing spears using charge actions to blitz the enemy from the skies with back up from ranged weaponry. The young Aracoix who have chosen to abandon the militarism are strong willed and are great explorers who always love to see new things.
