Surrounded (Vulture Harpies)

The whistling of large wings brings you back from the dreamland of having found Daxter Flinch's treasure and becoming a famous adventurer.

You suddenly jerk up and almost fall out of the tree but manage to grab hold of something. It's oddly soft, you look at your hand to figure out what what you caught. It's satin soft and, darkly coloured and wrinkled like a prune. Below the appendage you see a bed of soft feathers and some long vicious looking talons.

"Kekekeke! Pretty boy is so forceful!" A voice screeches from above you. You look up and are meet by the toothless grin of a bald old lady.

You jerk back. Letting go of the breast you'd grabbed by accident as a chorus of screechy cackles erupt all around you.

Heart beating in your throat you look around you at all of the leering granny faces and sagging breasts that are moulded into great black bird bodies.

You find yourself in the center of a committee of Vulture Harpies!

Although Vulture Harpies are carrion eaters and only feast on the dead, they tend to be crude in their ways and often harass young men and women. Unlike their Harpy cousins, however, they are far from attractive.

As you look around you see all of the characteristics. Although many are toothless the younger Vulture Harpies can be distinguished by the presence of teeth that extend out of their lips to make an eery grinning appearance. Even though the older harpy's are somewhat inconvenienced by their lack of teeth, meat is less likely to get stuck and continue to root leading to a slightly improved breath.

In fact, teeth are not the main tools used when feeding on corpses. Their powerful talons can easily rip hides and manipulated corpses. Their tongues are said to have nobs on them to better better grasp the meat, and the tips of their tongues are shaped like a scythe with a serrated cartilage blade that can saw through meat or scrape scraps off bone.

Aside from the teeth. The Younger vulture Harpys have a thicker plumage around the backs of their necks and fronts. While the older ones are entirely bald leaving their long wrinkly and splotchy red necks in full view. Even more mortifying, a lot of the feathers have fallen off around their genital areas leaving their gaping vaginas in full view and thoroughly startling you virgin sensibilities.
