'''Aviar''' are a class of bird on [[First of the Sun]] native to the [[Pantheon]] archipelago.{{book ref|sixth}} Aviar is a term that the [[Eelakin]] use for any bird that has magical powers and is capable of sharing those powers with humans.
== Appearance and Anatomy ==
Aviar are relatively large birds, approximately three fists tall.{{book ref|sixth}} Their appearance varies between species, with colors including red, green, black, and white, sometimes in combination.{{book ref|sixth}}{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} Some Aviar have sharp raptor-like talons and beaks.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}
== Behavior ==
Aviar are more intelligent than ordinary animals.{{wob ref|13847}} When they are trained by humans, they form a bond with them and prefer to stay nearby. They often enjoy being scratched affectionately, and may show displeasure by lightly biting. They display distinct personalities; for example, [[Kokerlii]] is oblivious and happy, while [[Sak]] is far more reserved. They seem to understand some human speech, as they can follow commands from their master, sometimes even using their talents on demand.{{book ref|sixth}} They can also be trained to perform specific behaviors, such as returning to their master if they whistle,{{book ref|sixth}} or even to attack other animals.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}
== Source of Powers ==
The abilities granted by Aviar stem from a symbiosis with the worms that they eat. The Aviar can then serve as an intermediary to allow humans to use certain powers granted by the Invested worms.{{wob ref|12621}} Aviar do not seem to have to continue eating worms to allow their powers to function, as they are often exported from the Pantheon to the distant [[mainland]].{{book ref|sixth}}
▲Eating an Aviar would not grant a person their powers.{{wob ref|11627}} A [[kandra]] in the form of an Aviar would not be able to gain their powers, even if they ate the worms.{{wob ref|12602}}
== Powers ==
The power obtained is different for each species of bird. There are Physical, Cognitive, and Spiritual powers.{{wob ref|8449}} For example, [[Kokerlii]] has the Cognitive ability to conceal his mind and those of others around him from beasts that hunt by seeking out minds. Aviar are able to share these powers with humans through a Spiritual [[Connection]] similar to the [[Nahel bond]]. Their bond is not as powerful as the Nahel bond, but because of that it can be shifted between people at its owner's will.{{wob ref|11628}} It has been hinted at that there are many other magical properties that were not mentioned. The magical abilities/species of birds has been well documented by the [[First of the Sun #Culture|Mainlanders]] and there has not been a new type of Aviar discovered for over 100 years.{{book ref|sixth}} Aviar are able to sense the location of those they have bonded with.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}{{book ref|sa4|77}}
=== Known
* Streamers are Aviars found on the isles that have the ability to conceal their mind and those of others around them from beasts that hunt by seeking out minds.{{book ref|sixth}} This is similar to [[Allomantic]] [[copper]].{{wob ref|1556}} This can also block an [[Awakener]]'s [[Heightening|lifesense]],{{wob ref|7436}} and can hide the pulses from nearby Allomancers so they cannot be detected by most [[Bronze#Allomantic Use|Seekers]].{{wob ref|9437}} They also prevent [[voidspren#secretspren|secretspren]] from sensing the use of Investiture.{{wob ref|8897}} The Aviar must remain close to others to keep them protected.{{book ref|sixth}} Streamers are not raised on Patji.
* Some non-native birds raised on the isles can have the Spiritual power to show people places they might die.{{book ref|sixth}} These warnings manifest as illusions of their dead bodies. The illusions are not highly detailed, and only give vague warnings. This is similar to Allomantic [[electrum]].{{wob ref|1556}}
