No, I think that's a type of celestial. An Avariel is just a plain old cross between an Elf and a Giant Eagle. In practice, they tend to be extremely well-known because it's one of the only ways to let the Alter Self spell give you flight.

Be careful, even though the three of us are danes, posting in non-english languages are strictly forbidden by the CoC (Code of Conduct)

As to the original request you really should check out the book from Forgotten Realms - Races of Faerūn. An Avariel is basically just a winged elf from somewhere in Faerūn. There is an Avariel in the PC game Baldur's Gate II - Shadows of Amn, though she has lost her wings so she can't fly.

02-08-05, 09:05 PM Avariels are pretty much crap. Deffinately not worth the LA.
I would recommend simply applying the Winged Template from Savage Species of any other elf subrace instead. (snow elf would be my choice)

03-02-05, 09:43 PM Avariel first appeared in "The Complete Book of Elves" for AD&D 2nd Edition. They are basically just flying elves with bird's wings who live in "mountain roosts".
If you want to find out more, get that book. Not sure if they are featured in 3E at all. I never thought they really fitted as an elf subrace though, and few people ever used them in games.
