* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: They have humanoid heads and upper torsos, with wings taking the place of arms, feathers down their back and avian lower-halves. However, the this version of the trope is less of a woman-bird hybrid, and more like a bird that happens to look like a woman, as they are biologically fully avian, are not intelligent, and even lack teeth. Their primary method of feeding is by kleptoparasitism, just like skuas or some vultures. As Laios explains to Kabru who's currently trying to force a harpy omelette down, they prefer to find another predator enjoying their kill, and then they scream and spread (incredibly foul smelling) poop everywhere to pester the hunter who did all the work into leaving. After gorging themselves on their stolen meal, they return to their nest and feed their young by vomiting straight into their mouths. Notably, their breasts do not produce milk, their purpose is to serve as a bald patch on the chest to keep their young and eggs warm while nesting, just like how most birds have a bald "brood patch" on their chest. To top it all off, Laios even admires how they eat their young's poop to keep the nest clean, which does not make things any better for poor Kabru.

* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: They have humanoid heads and upper torsos, with wings taking the place of arms, feathers down their back and avian lower-halves. However, despite having human features, they are biologically fully avian, are not intelligent, and even lack teeth. As Laios explains, they prefer to home in other creatures meals, and then they scream and spread (incredibly foul smelling) poop everywhere to pester the animal who got the food into leaving. After gorging themselves on their stolen meal, full they return and feed their young by vomiting into their mouths. Their breasts do no produce milk, as they are fully oviparious, their purpose is to serve as a bald patch on the chest to keep their young and eggs warm while nesting, and they even eat the young's feces to keep the nest clean. As if their resemblance to humans is not gross enough, Laios explains all of this in precense of poor Kabru, who is currently trying to force down the harpy egg omelette Laios gave him and his biology lesson is not helping things

* ChekhovsGag: It's initially referenced as a goofy sketch for Laios' childish idea of the coolest possible monster. Then the Winged Lion grants Laios' desire to become a monster and it is the final monster the party faces and what defeats the demon in the end.

* CompellingVoice: They sing to hypnotize people to approach them so they can drown them. Kobolds and half-foots, with their more exceptional hearing, tend to be more susceptible.

* HiveMind: It isn't just a demon - It's ''every'' demon. All manifestations of demons inside a dungeon are just "branches" of a single extradimensional entity, with the Winged Lion being its avatar in the dungeon of the island.

* InformedFlaw: Laios says the clones aren't as intelligent as the real deal, but they are shown cooking and talking like a regular person.

* FantasticFlora: Although from the presence of cnidocytes, it might not actually be a plant. Maybe a {{Planimal}}?

-->'''First encountered:''' ''The Adventurer's Bible'', Thistle 1

* AwesomeButImpractical: ... [[FakeUltimateMook but its mana requirements are so extreme]] (it needs to consume the souls of three blue whales every minute) that it seems like it can't survive at ''any'' depth of the dungeon.

* RunningGag: Since it's the most powerful monster, newbie dungeon lords like Thistle, Mithrun, and Laios (in an alternate universe) start their careers by summoning it to guard the entrance of their dungeons, only for it to immediately starve and vanish.
