Harpy

Adversaries Designed by Geoff Nori

Adversary overview

These are gaunt, vulture-like scavengers with oily feathers and jagged, iron-like talons.

They aren’t magical; they are simply evolved to survive the brutal verticality of the mountains by picking off the weak.

Passives

  • Snatch and Drop
    fear 1

    The Harpy dives to snatch a target. Make an attack roll. On a success, instead of dealing damage, the Harpy carries a Small or Medium target to High elevation. The target is Restrained.
