This is not to say that harpies will not attack larger or better-armed creatures than themselves, but it can take many hours for the flock to work up sufficient courage to put themselves at risk. Harpies care little where their next meal comes from and will as happily steal eggs from a Great Eagle's nest as raid farmstead for cattle, isolated villages for the old and infirm or battlefields for meagre scraps of flesh from spent corpses. Innately cowardly creatures, Harpies band together in great sky-borne flocks, which roam high above the mountainsides and valleys in search of prey defenceless enough to risk attacking. Harpies are vicious and spiteful, displaying only the meanest glimmerings of intelligence and, even then, only to malicious purpose. The Harpies then descend to pick over the bones of the Bray-Shamans' sacrificial victims, squabbling with one another over whatever morsels they can steal. As the Beastmen enact their hidden rituals, the Harpies glare jealous and restless from the branches above, awaiting the hours when the Beastmen will slumber having spent themselves in their excesses. It is as if the creatures are drawn by the same forces that compel the Beastmen to congregate and slaughter captives before the sacred places of the Dark Gods. Most commonly, Harpies live in the caves of the Northern Wastes and the Troll Country, but often the woods around Beastman encampments are infested with nests of Harpies. A beast cannot delay its pleasures in such fashion." - Lakroth Mal, Druchii Corsair.

They will swiftly retreat to a high location where they cannot be readily followed if injured. They put their wings to good advantage, using hit and run tactics on land bound foes. Harpies will frequently try to attack from surprise and in large numbers. Their appearance has lead to many arguments among scholars some concluding that they are little more than mere beasts, others that they are touched by Chaos. It is their torsos that likely cause such speculation about Harpies, for they have the upper body of a voluptuous female, though with a savage and feral beauty. Their lower bodies end in scale-covered bird's legs and jagged talons. Their wings are leathery, resembling those of a bat, though their forms often sprout black feathers. They make their lairs in the mountains and cliffs of the Land of Chill, the Northern Waste and the lands of Troll Country but always near the sea, where prey is more readily available. Harpy, or Harpies, are rare winged predators almost entirely unknown in the Old World. Ī flock of Harpies descending upon their prey.
