Harpy

Murderous gangs of harpies collect in grim places across Theros, preying on any who pass by. Many merchants face regular losses at the harpies’ claws, common casualties often referred to as a “blood toll.”

The notorious Nyxborn harpy Aphemia prowls the marshy wastes around the necropolis of Asphodel. Her shrill songs enthrall the necropolis’s undead inhabitants, which she leads on raids to waylay unsuspecting travelers and settlements.

Subspecies
The Siren

This subspecies of Harpy are more in tune with nature and civilisation than their cousin's. Sailors will sometimes hear a beautiful song as they near rocky coastlines. This enchanting song is being sung by the siren. Its true form is part bird, part female humanoid creature. In truth however, Siren's rarely prey on humans in a violent manner; they much more appreciate their listening ear and will keep them alive for protection and companionship.
