Editing Harpy (section)

==Warcraft==
In [[Warcraft]], Harpies are creatures native to Kalimdor and look like a combination between a Night Elf and a bird, and they appear to be exclusively female. They're typically trash mobs that serve as a threat and kill quest targets for leveling players; thus individual tribes serve either as a nuisance or a localized threat to the Alliance or Horde, but have not had a major role in the grand scheme of things.

They're a lot like Pathfinder harpies above. Just read that entry, and you'll have a good idea of what these harpies are about, just more PG. Most references of how they reproduce has been removed, but old Tabletop RPG noted a number of rumors. They would resort to abducting males of other species to mate with until they served as food, and also providing information that harpies may reproduce parthenogenetically when times were tough. There's also a certain emphasis on their being highly unsanitary, noted for their stench, throwing fecal bombs, and strong immunity to diseases that they were carriers of, up to trying to seduce members of other species into kissing them [[Troll|as a means of spreading disease]]. Also of note was that they preferred to use nature magic, though they would use it to largely to exterminate the wildlife of where they would set up their nests, and their only ally was the [[Ratfolk|Kobolds]], another minor species.

They were descended from the Wild God named Aviana, who was much more benevolent than her kids would turn out to be. Aviana died fighting the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients, but would be resurrected during the Cataclysm to protect the world again, and survived long enough to fight off the Burning Legion again during the Third Invasion just years later.
