Harpy, Harpy see them fly, drop the children from the sky, when the younglings misbehave, escorts children to their grave. Never back-talk, never lie, or they'll drop you from the sky! -Old Orenian Rhyme
A truly repulsing creature, they possess large claws protruding from their toes and fingers, as well as a sharp beak. They might be mistaken for an ugly woman if it weren’t for the two large wings sprouting from their backs and the sharp beak, Harpies also have a lethal screech, which appears in the dreams of those foolish enough to stumble upon their lair.
Some find zombies repulsing, others find spiders more so, but the Harpy is doubtlessly the most disgusting of the lesser demons, they have humanoid legs and arms, though large raven-like wings sprout from their backs. There are different types of Harpies, which shall not be noted, a recurring trait seems to be kleptomania. Harpies possess a sort of oil that escapes their pores when going into combat, it is believed to be linked to the glands located beneath the beak.
Harpies prefer mountainous areas, full of rocky ledges where they can build nests and swoop down on unsuspecting travelers.
Behaviour
Harpies, first and foremost, are predatory creatures. They typically remain quite high up, either in the sky or in their dwellings, before hurtling down upon whatever unlucky fellow catches their notice, screeching all the while. They attempt to kill their prey immediately, whether it be through their claws or beak, before dragging their corpse off to their nest to eat.
Harpies also lust after shiny objects, dive-bombing them in a manner similar to prey. Once acquired, such shiny trinkets are deposited in their nests; it is unknown what the Harpy then does to it. A Harpy's trove, however, varies in value. While some may contain large amounts of gold, others may merely have particularly shiny pieces of paper.
Uses
The oil secreted by Harpies is often used by many a person for lubricating whatever needs to be lubricated. While Harpies cannot be tamed by any means, people sometimes purposely release them near those with large amounts of valuable, shiny things.
Harpy skulls are occasionally kept as trophies by those who kill them; but they are far from unique in this regard.
