Harpy

Attributes: Humanoid, Intelligent, Vocal, Caster

Harpies are creatures of greed and spite. Usually female bird-like people, they live in appalling conditions that lead to disease and sickness. If you are clawed by a Harpy’s talons and they pierce skin you should make sure to disinfect it and seek the aid of an Earth caster immediately. The screeches of a harpy are terrifying to behold. Stalwart defenders of justice and cynical thief alike will be sent fleeing into the woods unless their minds are awakened and the command of the Harpy’s song broken. Harpies will often ambush travelers in hope of finding “shinies” like their smaller magpie cousins. Harpies are motivated by greed for flashy baubles. The creatures enjoy inflicting pain and suffering but can be bribed fairly easily. Most harpies are female, but rare male specimens can also be found. They have been seen in the lands of Garthok, specifically in the east where the Dark Moon Clan lives. Harpies often gather nesting materials other than shiny baubles, including rare herbs such as Feyander that can be used in ritual magic. Powerful Harpies can use Magic Enslavement, Magic Dominate and Magic Charm as an innate ability.
