Editing Space Harpies (section)

==Biology==
Space harpies possess 4 limbs, a semi-hollow bone structure, and feathers covering most of their limbs and down their back. The inside of their upper arms, thighs, and the front of their torsos are bare of feathers and instead covered with smooth, flesh like skin similar to the Hominids of the sol system known as humans. Their lower legs and the 3 digits located at the 'joint' in their wings are flexible and rather than covered in wings, are covered in hard podotheca similar to earth avian life.

Long term exposure to drugs has rendered the species incapable of producing several key types of hormones in their bodies naturally, instead relying upon a steady diet of various recreational drugs at appropriate times.

A consequence of this has left them incapable of breeding without such assistance. To reproduce, they must be in estrus, and the hormones that induce this are no longer produced in sufficient amounts to allow themselves to reproduce. Luckily the ability to artificially create these drugs, and locate them on various planets, is common enough to not overly endanger the species.

Harpies are omnivorous, but tend to focus on plant based feeding, with carnivorous behavior only exhibited in times of duress or extreme hunger.

===Male===
Males do not significantly differ in anatomy from females except in superficial dimorphism. Males tend to possess far more colorful plumage than females. Further, their bodies produce adrenaline and testosterone in far greater amounts, and react differently to it than human males do. Harpy males, rather than entering into Fight-or-Flight states similar to humans, become nearly euphoric. Harpy males can become addicted to 'dangerous' situations, seeking them out as excitement addicts. This plays a key role in their mating process, and further, might explain the high mortality rate amongst male Harpies that allows their society to function as it does.

===Female===
Female harpies once again possess only superficial differences to the males of their species on the surface. Their plumage is far less showy, often it is close to the native flora of their homeworld, possibly an evolved and natural camoflague. Unlike their males, who react with an almost addicted glee to dangerous situations, female harpy bodies react entirely differently to either Human or male Harpy biology when exposed to the same hormonal imbalances. Female harpy's mental processes quicken and their judgement and decision making centers are far more active, emotional states, while not dampened, are paid attention too less. Basically, where a male Harpy will fling himself into dangerous situations and fight them head on, female harpies become analytical and thoughtful about how to tackle them, their sped up mental processes allowing them to quickly solve problems and get out of danger, or neutralize it.
