A more malignant and wretched creature than the harpy is difficult to imagine. Taking great glee in causing suffering and death, the sadistic harpy is always watching for new victims.
A harpy resembles an evil-faced old human with the lower body, legs, and wings of a birdlike dinosaur. Its hair is tangled and filthy, crusted with the blood of its victims. A harpy's coal-black eyes clearly reflect its evil soul, as do the wicked talons on its knotty fingers. These vile creatures wear no clothing and often wield large, heavy bones as though they were clubs.

Harpy's speak no language.

The kuo-toa are an ancient line of aquatic humanoids noted for their sinister nature and diabolical tendencies.
An average kuo-toa stands roughly 5 feet tall and has a more or less humanoid appearance. Its rounded body is covered with fine scales giving it the appearance of being pudgy or bloated. The arms and legs are slender, almost willowy, ending in broad hands and distended feet that look very much like flippers.
