Harpy is a seldom used black and blue creature type used for cards that depict ravenous, filthy monsters that have a woman's head and a bird's body.

The first card named Harpy was Screeching Harpy in Tempest, but it had the subtype Beast. Two other cards followed: Molting Harpy in Mercadian Masques (which was only a Mercenary) and the multicolored Cavern Harpy in Planeshift (a Beast again).

In the Grand Creature Type Update the Harpy was specifically introduced as an additional subtype for these three cards. [1]. After that, no Harpy was printed until the Theros block.

The harpies of Theros are monstrous bird women that behave like vultures or corvids, attacking the weak and stealing objects.[2]
