Black Harpy

Encyclopedia Entry:
A race of harpies with jet-black wings. They are said to be the most intelligent variety. More vicious than normal harpies, they are known to swoop down on passing humans and rob them of food and valuables.

Unlike the other harpy races, this kind is known to bring desirable men back to their nests even outside of mating season. Furthermore, while most harpies release their mates once mating season is over, black harpies "marry" them. The "husband" helps take care of the harpy's other children during her pregnancy, and will not be set free until his "wife" gives birth.

Black harpies have a strong sense of community. They are extremely protective of their "husbands" and of others of their kind. If one is attacked, the rest will retaliate as a group.
