June 2024 - Monsterswap roundup
Week 1 - Harpy
The inspiration for his design is unsurprisingly, the peacock! Some influence has also been taken from the Tengu/Tenga costume designs in the Power Rangers series. I wanted to just have fun with this, and go full rubber-monster costume at least once.
Mandatory Changes
● Bird-like wings that can resemble any species of bird, but will always be large enough to fly with. These wings can either be on their back, or the Harpy can have winged arms.
● Bird talons in place of feet, and talon-like claws instead of fingernails as well.
● Hair with a feathery texture.
● Hollow bones and increased lung capacity, allowing the character to fly more easily.
● Feathers on the shoulders and elbows.
● Extremely sharp eyesight. Harpies can make out small details and movements on the ground even from great heights.
● Ability to predict weather patterns. Harpies will be able to accurately predict the weather up to a week in advance.
● Weakness to electricity. Being electrocuted or struck by lightning can kill a Harpy. Better get to lower ground during thunderstorms!
● A nesting instinct. Harpies feel safest when able to make a shelter in a high place.
● The need to feed on human flesh. This need may be satiated by accepting it from others, but more often than not, the Harpy will be compelled to choose their own targets for a fresh kill.
● A strong hunting instinct. When Harpies are hungry, they will develop the urge to chase prey down. Harpies usually hunt by either directly attacking their prey or lifting them off the ground and dropping them from great heights.
Optional Changes
● Travel form: the ability to change into a bird. In this form, the character will look like a normal bird and will be able to travel faster. However, they will also be more vulnerable.
● Feathers on any other part of the body.
● A bird-like tail.
● Short bursts of speed. The Harpy will be able to move extremely fast for about a mile, but will be extremely exhausted afterwards.
● A soothing singing voice that can charm humans, making them vulnerable to being lured.
