A Harpy usually stands about 5 feet tall and weighs around 90 pounds, and their light frame allows their large wings to carry them with ease. At first glance, it seems they have a human face but a closer look reveals predatory eyes and feral features.
While they can live in almost any habitat other than really cold locations, they prefer marshlands, hills, and mountains, places where they can lure their prey into bogs and corners, and swoop down on them, ambushing them from up above.
Many stories surround the Harpies, from feasting on human and elven flesh to terrifying their victims before attacking, and the actions they take have made some of their names known, names such as Yoreano, Deriara, Yenelle, and Zepheanor.
Good Harpy Names
Most harpies don’t leave their families at any point in their lives but the ones that do seldom return back. These would-be-adventurers are also usually more capable of tempering their feral side, as well as being able to communicate in a more civilized manner.

This young harpy is one of the best flyers in his family’s whole history, and he is not afraid to show it. Prone to leaving on a whim, however, he frequently visits the nearby peaks and uses them as a platform from which he can plunge below, something that the rest of his family is scared to do.

Standing 5 feet tall and weighing less than 100 pounds, they are a mix of a feral human and a feathery bird, with predatory eyes and large wings. They love elven and human flesh, and they also love to toy with their victims, sometimes even for weeks, before finally attacking. While most stay with their families forever, those that decide to venture forth have found an efficient way of taming their feral side, as well to communicate as other races do.
Think about where the character was born, how did they grow up, how is their past experience with some of the other races, did something make them leave their community and what was it, what are their current goals, and think of a name worthy of the predatory nature that leaves no Harpy, not even the most civilized ones.
