The Crows of Khaine (Harpies)

The flying manifestations of Khaine himself swoop down from above, feasting on their prey with fiery vengeance.

Harpies are rare winged predators almost entirely unknown in the Old World. They make their lairs in the mountains and cliffs near the sea, where prey is more readily available. Their wings are leathery, resembling those of a bat, though their forms often sprout black feathers. Their lower bodies end in scale-covered bird’s legs and jagged talons. It is their torsos that likely cause such speculation about Harpies, for they have the upper body of a voluptuous female with a savage and feral beauty. Their appearance has led to many arguments among scholars; some conclude that they are little more than mere beasts, others that they are touched by Chaos. Harpies will frequently try to attack with surprise and in large numbers. They put their wings to good advantage, using hit-and-run tactics on land-bound foes.
