Harpy Lore:
Harpies has been very popular in greek/roman stories and many depictions of them have been realized throughout the centuries. However, what the humans don’t know about those varying depictions is that they are all true.
Harpies are able to change their body at will, depending on their needs. The only consistent thing about Harpies is their bird legs, which can lead to confusion as people tend to mistake them for sirens. Their feathers can totally disappear under their flesh, and their face can be as human as can be (although disguised harpies tend to have an unsettling fixed glare, much like owls). But the contrary is also true: some Harpies tend to keep their original, more animalistic appearance: long feathered arms, clawed fingers, long canines and starved looking body. Some are even said to have a complete avian body. In any case, all Harpies are able to transform and use their original form or not, although they tend to become feral looking when they are angry.
Another thing all Harpies have in common is their insatiable hunger. Seen as a curse for some, a blessing for others, the harpies are able to constantly eat great quantity of food without gaining mass. They are always looking for something to eat and some legends talk about kidnapping humans to eat them when the hunger is too much to bear.
Harpies hate to be mixed up with sirens and like to remind people their voice is only able to produce high-pitched screeches. They have an incredible range too and could burst human’s eardrums easily.
