I gotta be honest: I hate this harpy. If I saw this harpy I’d be like “no thank you.”

Question: Are Harpies an only female specie, or are the males just overshadowed by them in myths? And if only female how do they reproduce?

I believe the trick with harpies, usually, is to find a partner from another species to interbreed with. Most so called “halfbreeds” aren’t that: They turn out like a parent. Bit rude to call them that too.

Think like Aussies of aboriginal descent: If one of your parents is aboriginal, then you are. There’s no “halfbreed”, no “Mulato” or other derogatory term. Being aboriginal isn’t a fraction game. Same goes for harpies, except it’s more obvious to someone as doesn’t know them as to whether they are a harpy or not.

It’s mentioned in Exchanges, as Tony is transforming into a harpy, that Blanche has never heard of a male harpy and Madam U tells him he needs to get out more. Male harpies aren’t impossible, but they seem to be dominantly female.

Basically it’s like how certain Pokemon have a 1-to-8 gender disparity favoring females.
