The Harpy is a screeching half-woman, half-bird creature. It's a weak fighter, but it's a great source of feathers and it picks through corpses.

Overview

• In-game name: a harpy
• Corpse: a harpy corpse
• Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
• Rummages corpses: from time to time it takes a random item from a corpse within 2 tiles (*rummages through a corpse and takes an item*). Loot your kills quickly near one.

Loot

Every harpy carries:

• Gold: about 60–150 in total (from its "Meager" ×2 loot)

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 4 chances, from about 1% down to 0.2% each)
• A musical instrument (about 0.2% or less)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

• 4 raw birds
• 50 feathers, doubled to 100 in Felucca

Location

• Champion spawn: it is a level 2 creature of the Abyss champion spawn (champion: Semidar), so it appears at the fixed Abyss altar at Felucca 5815, 1352, and any of the 11 Lost Lands altars that rolls Abyss. Each one killed during a spawn gives the killer Valor and champion-title progress.
• The Deceit brazier (a scripted item named for the dungeon Deceit): double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.

Champion spawns only exist if the staff have generated them (with the staff command [GenChamps); the code doesn't say whether that's been done on New Bradford.

Tips

• Carve it for 50 feathers (100 in Felucca), handy for fletchers.
• It rummages corpses, so loot yours before it gets to them.
