Harpy

Harpies are an intelligent female-only species of bird-like humanoid women. Once, their numbers use to be strong and numbered well over the 100,000s but now they have dwindled below the 300s.

Their existence is considered a myth or a silly supersition by most, moreso than werewolves, but they are very real unknown to the majority of the population.

It's unknown whether they speak the common tongue, most likely not due to their isolation from civilization. For as long as they have been around, harpies have dwelled within forests or in canyons, any places with a high lookout point. Their current locations are Harpies Woods, Deepmere Isle, and Mistwood. The harpies located in colder regions tend to have more feathers covering their bodies while the southern species have less feathers and are pretty much naked.

Harpies are cunning and very clever. They care deeply for their young and each other. They tend to live in flocks of 3-5 females at once and tend to reach 200 years of age.

(Don't science biology me here) How they get pregnant is a very dark and grim method. They give birth to eggs, not live young like humans do and in order to impregnante themselves, harpies must find a human male. Every now and again, a human wanders into their woods and it's a fight over the male. In all cases, unless the man is willing (it depends on the man), it ends in a lot of rape and finally death. The females able to impregnante themselves carry the man off to their nests, where they break his arms and legs and keep him alive until their young hatch and then they feed their young human flesh, which supposedly invigorates harpy young. Very dark, am I right?
