Harpies
From Srafopedia
World of Origin
Harpies live in the Land of the Dead, in the World of the Dead they enjoy torturing the ghosts by whispering everything bad they did when they were alive in their ears while they sleep.We first see the Harpies in The Amber Spyglass. When Lyra and Will stand outside the gate of the Land of the Dead, a harpy whom is reffered to as "No-Name" attacks Lyra taking out a clump of her hair and causing her head to bleed, No Name did this because Lyra lied to her. Later the Lady Salmakia makes a deal with No Name that if every ghost who comes into the land of the dead tells a true story, then the Harpies will lead the ghosts out of the land of the dead. When Lyra falls into an abyss caused by a bomb exploding No Name saves her, Lyra renames her Gracious Wings.
Attitude/Behavior
They have been set by the Authority to torment the Ghosts who inhabit the Land of the Dead. They feed off of the lies and despair that had occurred during a ghost's life.
Notable Harpies
The only Harpy who we get to know is No-Name whom later Lyra renames Gracious Wings because 'Gracious Wings' helped her.
