Harpies prey upon weaker creatures for anything they can steal. Whether they do this out of greed, need, or pure delight in the torment of other living things remains a point of debate. A few Vabbian visionaries claim that harpies are intelligent or civilized, but adventurers have seen plenty of evidence to the contrary. They'll steal food after they've feasted, take shiny baubles with no worth whatsoever, and stalk wanderers for miles with no discernable purpose. The Elonian species of harpies is sometimes referred to as the (skree,) and skree harpies are among the most relentless and vicious in the world.
Despite their baser instincts, skree harpies are organised enough to form a crude society, deferring to the will and whims of corrupt matriarchs. Once a harpy matron claims a stretch of land as her own, her progeny prey upon any who pass through it. Unfortunately, harpy matriarchs aren't always particularly wise or intelligent in their choice of territory. Vabbian princes hire guards for many reasons, but all of them must prepare for the next time a pack of skree harpies begins scouting outside the walls of a princely estate.
