The power to use the abilities of harpies. Variation of Mythical Avian Physiology.
Capabilities[]
User with this ability either is or can transform into a harpy, a winged spirit from Greek mythology, where they often took the job of punishing mortals for their misdeeds. This punishment frequently took the form of snatching away and/or befouling people's food, hence their name which comes from the Greek word for "snatcher." They also can be considered as personifications of violent storm-winds.
Harpies can vary widely in appearance, but they are always some combination of woman and bird, usually a bird of prey. The ratio of human to bird can also vary from human-faced bird to winged humanoid. In many classical depictions, their arms are their wings. Most of the time, they are seen as ugly, but they were originally described as beautiful. This seems to be more in line with their more current appearance.
