They use captivating songs to lure creatures in, then murder them while they stand transfixed. They enjoy causing confusion and fear in their prey before they strike, believing it creates a savory flavor in the flesh. Harpies can eat most creatures but strongly prefer sapient prey—humans and elves are their favorite. Although harpies will eat goblins if sufficiently hungry, they dislike their flavor and avoid eating them if possible. This doesn't comfort goblins, of course, who have a particularly strong fear of harpies. Because their aeries often reek with the gore of their kills and careless spatters of guano, harpies carry a distinctly vile scent that canny travelers associate with danger. Harpies who roost close to civilization make better efforts to keep clean, though these efforts have mixed results. divine_spells: null hp: 68 immunities: null innate_spells: null items: null languages: - Common level: 5 melee: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d6+4 type: bludgeoning name: club to_hit: 12 traits: null - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 2d6+4 type: slashing name: talon to_hit: 15 traits: - agile - finesse name: Harpy perception: 12 proactive_abilities: - action_cost: One Action description: The harpy cries out an eerie, compelling melody. Each non-harpy creature within a 300-foot aura must attempt a DC 21 Will save to avoid becoming captivated by the harpy's song. The effect lasts for 1 round, but if the harpy uses this ability again on subsequent rounds, it extends the duration by 1 round for all affected creatures. Once a creature succeeds at any save against Captivating Song, that creature is temporarily immune to Captivating Songs for 24 hours. **Success** The creature is unaffected. **Failure** The creature is fascinated, and it must spend each of its actions to move closer to the harpy as expediently as possible, while avoiding obvious dangers. If a captivated creature is adjacent to the harpy, it stays still and doesn't act. If attacked by the harpy, the creature is freed from captivation at the end of the harpy's turn. **Critical Failure** As failure, but if attacked by the harpy, the creature can attempt a new save at the start of its next turn, rather than being freed at the end of the harpy's turn. name: Captivating Song traits: - auditory - concentrate - enchantment - incapacitation - mental - primal ranged: - action_cost: One Action damage: formula: 1d6+4 type: bludgeoning name: club to_hit: 15 traits: - thrown 10 feet resistances: null saves: fort: 9 ref: 15 will: 12 saves_special: fort: null ref: null will: null senses: - darkvision skills: Acrobatics: 13 Deception: 13 Intimidation: 11 Performance: 14 skills_special: null speed: - amount: 20 type: Land - amount: 60 type: Fly spell_attack_to_hit: null spell_dc: null traits: - CE - Medium - Humanoid type: Creature
