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.
History
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.
Storyline
Theros
The harpies of Theros are monstrous bird women that behave like vultures or corvids, attacking the weak and stealing objects.[2]
Ixalan
Harpies on Ixalan resemble owls rather than vultures. They are the servants of Ixalan's demons and usually live in rocky cliffs near the sea.[3] They are thought to have once been Sirens due to their close resemblance. Their bite carries dangerous diseases.
