 ==History==
-Prior to [[0.14]], harpies had an infuriating ability to destroy your [[food]] supplies; barring [[Jiyva]] worship, any attack of theirs would have a chance of destroying random food items in your [[inventory]]. Coupled with their habit of devouring any corpse they crossed paths with (and the fact that they could affect food and corpses at your feet), they were one of the more legitimate starvation threats in the game, as well as being fairly dangerous physical attackers.

When they swarm, they~~ can ~~deal heavy damage to all but the heaviest armoured characters, and they pose a risk of starvation to anyone.
