Sailplane Harpy OC. Meet Viee, a lightweight, non powered harpycraft. Harpycraft are flying humanoid creatures that resemble different types of airplanes! I've had this idea for a while, but I'm only just now good enough artistically to pull it off. I've almost never seen any good anthropomorphized aircraft, and I'd like to start a series exploring the idea. I've got the start of some lore written up too, so go ahead and leave me questions or asks if you're curious about these critters! Any ideas for other planes I should try out?

Of the few extant fixed-wing bird species, the Hermit Warbler is perhaps the most intriguing. Where other flapless birds are content to catch strong winds in order to take flight (thus limiting their habitat), these plucky warblers will climb coniferous trees as tall as two Robosauruses stacked atop each other before leaping off and gliding. It is currently unknown why they do this however, as their diet primarily consists of spiders and other crawling insects that do not require being airborne to catch.
