Harpy
|
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. If one were to walk through the poorer back alleys of Salvus, they would hear the orphans sing a popular melody, which is very related to this beast:
"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!"
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.
