Avian

Avian (霊鳥, Reichō, lit. "Spiritual Bird") is a race of demons of the Birds species in the Shin Megami Tensei series. It is the bird's version of Holy Beast and Godly Beast races. They are usually the god in bird's form or the sacred bird which brings good fortune. Garuda, the king of birds, is usually the top ranked Avian. The only exceptions are both installments of Devil Survivor which include this race with demons from the previously Flight (Neutral) and Raptor (Dark) races. They are Light-Law.

Giten Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku[]

"Beings who represent the flight of the soul and awakening. They also lead souls to the afterlife. Avians have noble souls unpolluted by material value. Therefore, their natures conflict with those of Dragons, who are the exact opposite."

Avians have the Flight Racial Skill, which passively increases the team leader's move range by 1 and allows them to move through obstacles (and enemy teams) rather than needing to circumvent them.
