The Hadozee

Plying the wildspace and often going with the flow, the hadozee are one of the most common races to be encountered on the deck of a spelljammer, and for good reason. They are excellent sailors, and they are born warriors, perfectly able to handle whatever the flow can throw at them and their vessels. As a result of a species wide constant wanderlust , the hadozee can no longer remember or care to remember their homeland, and the majority of hadozee are now born at sea or in ports, and large hadozee communities in seaports are quite common.
A hadozee resembles an ape, but with a membrane around themselves that allows them to glide short distances, and they often use this ability to climb the masts of ships and then launch themselves off. They stand between 5 and 6 foot tall in stature, and as a result of their heavy muscle, they weigh 200 pounds plus. As a result of their wanderlust, the fur variation on a hadozee is very variable, and can be many shades of gold, brown and black, with occasional all white or all black hadozee being encountered. Their lifespans are the same as humans, and most hadozee, at the end of it, are buried at sea or given a Viking burial.
Hadozee live for the open sea and wildspace, and they love hard work. They have an almost kender like optimism when at sea, and the presence of a hadozee can lift the entire ship, even when things seem at their bleakest.
It is said that the Hadozee are born to wander, and while they have no seafairing or spacefairing ability of their own, they jump at the chance to join up with merchant vessels or privateer ships. They especially enjoy fighting on elven ships, and get on with most over races. They have a special rapport with wavecrest gnomes, and the ability of the wavecrest gnome to speak with sea birds can entertain a hadozee for hours.
In terms of the roles that hadozee play, they are excellent bards and it is a rare ship that does not have a hadozee singing sea shanties to uplift the crew. Hadozee have a baritone voice that booms across the decks of a ship. The hadozee guardian of the sea and guardian of a 100 aspects of the moon, Hengchia, has a number of priests on the ocean waves.
As a hadozee, you have -
+2 to dexterity and + 2 to charisma. You are agile and you know how to interact with people and inspire them.
You have a base land speed of 30 feet
You can glide, negating the damage from a fall of any height, and travel 20 feet horizontally for every 5 feet vertical descent. You glide at a speed of 40 feet.
You have proficiency on acrobatics.
Uplifting Presence - As a hadozee, you have a presence on the ship and almost boundless optimism. Once per long rest, you can provide all those within 30 feet advantage on Wisdom saving throws against fear effects. This ability cannot be used if you are surprised or unconscious.
You have proficiency in knowledge relating to nature regarding the oceans and wildspace, and history regarding nautical matters
You speak hadozee, aquan and common.
