Description
Archaeaoharpies are a species related to Archaeans, but smaller and less intelligent. They live in wild flocks in populated areas, and are treated anywhere from pests to valued members of the community. They're mostly carnivorous, and will eat hotdogs, pigeons, and pretty much anything they can find.
In urban areas, they tend to form territorial groups, called flocks, squabblings, or thieveries, that operate like gangs with a friendly rivalry- play-fighting and displaying for the best street vendors' spots, the prime rooftops for snatching trinkets, and the best shelters for stormy weather.
Archaeoharpies will dress themselves up with stolen swag- jewelry, shirts, scarves, etc.- sometimes as a ragtag uniform in their flocks, or as a matter of personal decoration. Like magpies, they'll sometimes steal and collect shiny things, sometimes forming vast hoards of pilfered riches.
Archaeans and humans will sometimes bring archaeoharpies into their homes, somewhere between pets and adopted children. The archaeoharpies don't seem to care, and any number of harpies can get along as there's adequate food and shelter. The archaeoharpies don't mind being kept in captivity, often saying something like, "As long as I have food, I don't care." (Think the text conversations between the guy and his dog or cat for intelligence level.)

Archaeoharpies are a closed species! While I by no means own harpies, their lore and interaction with the Archaean universe is what makes them special. You cannot make an archaeoharpy for free (though common ones will be cheap.)
