Does anyone happen to know the name of hte creature that resembles humans, but with bird wings and feet? Sometimes claws on their fingers and sometimes feathers for hair? Something like pic related?

For some discussion: What's your favourite avian-humanoid you've seen in fiction?
>>
>>52403981
the way that's drawn reminds me of mothman more than anything, sorry.
>>
>>52403981
Harpies?
>>
>>52403981
Aarakocra?
>>
>>52404206
I second anon.

You could also be looking at on of the other creatures that get lumped into Harpies.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpy
>>
>>52403981
Tengu.
Is the word you're looking for.

Unless it's a really fucked up angel.
>>
>>52404206
>>52404230
Nah, not harpies. I checked the things lumped in with harpies the second anon suggested and nothing fit.

>>52404313
Not Tengu. I've always seen them depicted as pic related, red-skinned humans with absurdly long noses, or bird-headed humans

>>52404223
After a quick Google search, it's not these. They're too avian to be it.

It's so weird, I swear I've seen depictions like the OP picture, but I can't place a name or setting.
>>
>>52405494
All right, back to it being a fucked up angel.

At that point, you wanna look at stuff like the Book of Ezekiel.

Keyword is like though, don't think that book contains it.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Ishtar.
>>
>>52405550
Why was Gilgamesh such a fag?
>>
>>52405531
Hm. Maybe, I'll look into that. Thanks!

>>52405550
Probably not Ishtar herself, since what I'm remembering is male. It could be inspired by Ishtar? Do you know if there's anything about that? My Google-fu is weak and gets me something called a Mushussu and that's nowhere near what I'm looking for
>>
>>52403981
The Mothman?
>>
>>52405653
It's the OG bromance.

There's always Pazuzu, from the same part of the world, who is a demonic man with wings and bird claws.
>>
>>52405717
It's possible I saw someone's interpretation that ignored the demonic bit. Google Image searching doesn't get anything like it, though.

Do you think it's possible I just made this shit up? 'Cause right now the image I'm getting in my head is really vague without many details besides what I said in the OP

sooooo a tengu?
>>
>>52405817
I was saying that's not what I'm looking for
>>
>>52405849
Can you at least specify what mythos it was from? or from what fiction?
>>
>>52405881
Unfortunately, no. I get the sense that it was from maybe some medieval swords and sorcery setting, but that's it.

I have no real idea where what I'm thinking of comes from and that's the problem
>>
>>52405916
Erinyes?
>>
>>52403981
Garuda?
>>
>>52403981
Sirens are occasionally depicted with wings and claw feet, like a sort of sea-harpy.
>>
>>52403981
An Avoral?
>>
>>52405653
Because she fucking killed all the men she banged. Gilgamesh realized she was a pretty ass basic bitch.
>>
>>52406085
>>52406053
These are both really close

>>52405954
It's not this unless someone took some serious artistic liberties

>>52406055
Nice dubs. And I looked up sea-harpy and it got me pic related. So maybe what I saw was just an interpretation of harpy where "female" was a sarcastic suggestion?
>>
>>52406053
Garuda is a good guess too IMO

Nah, Anzu is too avian
