you know, I hear a lot about mermaids here but there isn’t much love for harpies

• peacock harpies, with the males having long gorgeous undulating tails that trail behind them as they walk, that are dangerous not because they are outwardly violent but because they are so charming and beautiful that you don’t know you’re in danger until their claws are at your throat
• magpie harpies that hoard treasure like dragons in holes in trees and the nooks of branches
• waterfowl harpies that slip through the water like most harpies fly through air, that follow ships and tag along with mermaids looking for scraps, the scouts of the rivers and seas
• super-intelligent parrot harpies with glimmering jewel plumage and a gift for language and mischief, living in colonies and filling the air of the forests with their chatter and laughter

shall I go on

YES PLEASE GO ON
