SAVES: 13.12.14.16.15 (bard) <check>

Harpies have the bodies of vultures but the upper torsos and heads of women.
They are voracious carnivores && foul creatures.

Singing & charm: All harpies are able to emit sweet-sounding calls.
Any creature hearing these calls will proceed towards the harpies unless they save vs. Magic.
Similarly, the touch of a harpy charms those creatures which fail to make their save vs. Magic.

The harpies attack, torture, and devour their charmed prey.
What they do not want they foul with excrement. <lair: exposure to filth> <alt: fowl with shit>
A harpy attacks with her vulture claws and some form of weapon -- often a bone club or some weapon left from one of her former victims.
They speak their own language and none other.

Aerial Combat: 15". class C.
Harpies will use either their leg talons or a weapon in aerial battle.
Like eagles, they can plummet straight down and then pull out.
