Grey-plumed steelwing harpy
Lithe but powerful in a bestial fashion, the body of the steelwing harpy is plumed in a cascade of smoky grey feathers that gleam like tarnished silver. The remiges of her wings are as sharp-tipped as daggers and look nearly as substantial. A crest of downy semiplume feathers sweeps back from her face, which has a feral facsimile of pinched human features and golden eyes like a hawk's. The harpy's talons are as dark as coal and tipped with claws that are wickedly sharp.
