Harpy

Taking glee in suffering and death, the sadistic Harpy is always on the hunt for prey. Its sweet song has lured countless adventurers to their deaths, drawing them in close for the Harpy to kill and then consume.    A Harpy combines the body, legs, and wings of a vulture with the torso, arms, and head of a human. Its wicked talons make it a formidable threat in combat.    It is said that to hear a Harpy's song is to hear music more beautiful than anything else in the world. A traveller that succumbs to the entrancing effect of that singing is compelled to blunder toward its source. A Harpy sometimes charms victims before it attacks, but a more effective use of its song is to lure prey over cliffs, into bogs and quicksand, or into deadly pits. Creatures trapped or incapacitated then become easy targets for the Harpy's wrath.
