Harpy HARPY

Habitat: Forests and Mountains
Seeks Out: Gold and Other Harpies
Diet: Carnivorous
Size: Medium

Description:
These foul beasts have the head of a woman and the body of a bird. Despite their human features, I do not believe they are intelligent. They attack in small flocks from the air, wheeling above their prey and rending them with claws and beaks. They love gold like a raven or magpie loves all shiny things. There are those who seek to fletch their arrows with the harpy's feather, thinking it will convey virtue on the shafts, but I am assured by those who have made a study of such things that this is merely a false and extremely dangerous conceit.
