Character arc

The only Harpy that has been seen in the series was a female member of Lauren's medical staff of Light Fae. Lauren told Bo that she was one of the "Boston Harpies".

Being called a harpy appears to have a negative connotation. During a squabble Hale called his sister, Val Santiago, this seemingly unflattering sobriquet and she retorted by calling him a "human hugger".

In Lost Girl: The Game

Storm Harpy

A male "Storm Harpy" appears with bat-like wings and the power to create storms. His eyes glow with blue light.

Trivia

In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, a harpy (plural harpies) was a female monster in the form of a bird with a human face. They steal food from their victims while they are eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their family) to the Erinyes. They seem originally to have been wind spirits. Their name means "snatchers". Pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Harpies as ugly winged bird-women are a late development. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness. The term is often used metaphorically to refer to a nasty or annoying woman.
