A Harpy is a half-bird/half-woman creature with its origins in Greek mythology. The name means ''snatcher'' and, while Greek writers like Hesiod initially described them as youthful, winged maidens, they eventually came to be seen as hideous monsters. The harpies were seen as being bad luck as they could come out of nowhere, steal, destroy property, and wreak havoc on people's lives. Harpies despise men, and harpies are mostly female.
