The Harpies are a loose conglomeration of various winged humanoid creatures. In actuality, there are three closely-related races that make up the Harpy family. All kinds of Harpies are female and have wings, though only true Harpies possess other bird-like characteristics, such as pronged feet.
Behavior[]
Harpies possess the Heart attack - while it does no damage on its own, being hit by it stuns the player for a few seconds, allowing another mob to attack from range, or even run into the player, unabated. Harpies fly around the screen at moderate speed, flapping their wings as they go.
Strategy[]
The Heart attack comes out slowly and only begins to home in after a few moments, giving the player plenty of time to dodge the attack. The only time this may present a problem is when multiple Harpies launch their attack at the same time. Get as far away from them as you can - even if you do get stunned, they are unlikely to reach you, and if they do, you will probably survive anyway. Once you break the stun, make sure not to swing the sword until you are outside of their space.

Most Harpies have brown wings and brown feathers below the waist. They have nothing covering their torso, but generally aren't too pretty to look at in the first place. Despite this, the Harpy still believes herself to be at least somewhat pretty, and will try to charm passers-by.

The higher tier of Harpy, the Princess has noble blood in her veins, giving her distinct pink feathers and hair. Princesses look slightly more human than the base Harpy, and their bright colors have attracted more than one traveler to lose a night or two in their business.

Valkyries are green-haired angelic creatures which swoop over the skies and rescue fallen warriors from the fields of battle. They are particularly partial to humans, but do not take too kindly to a living and healthy adventurer trespassing on their domain. Unlike Harpies, Valkyries have enough modesty to wear a full dress when going about her errands. The average Valkyrie is much tougher than she looks - don't underestimate her.

A literal golden angel, the Seraph is one of the nicest creatures in the world. When one is nearby, people can sense a feeling of warmth and love. In most cases, a Seraph can only be seen by creatures she wants to see her - to find one is a sign that the person is blessed. Seraphs don't mind when a pink man in a sword tries to take their money, but try at every opportunity to instill peace.
