Harpy

Harpies were a race of bat-like creatures that served the White Witch during the Long Winter.

Harpies played a minor role in the LWW film. They were only seen gathering with ogres, goblins, minotaurs, minoboars, wolves, Ankle Slicers, boggles, werewolves, White Tigers, cyclopes, and hags around the Stone Table where they laughed and watched the mighty lion, Aslan, sacrifice himself to the witch. One Harpy stood in front of Aslan, but flew off since it was afraid of the great lion.

In the extended edition of the movie, Harpies played a bigger role. In one scene during the First Battle of Beruna, many Harpies were sent by the White Witch to attack the gryphons and eagles from Aslan's Army, to try to stop them from dropping their rocks on the White Witch's Army. One of them grabbed a gryphon, which caused both of them to fall down to the ground and die. Another Harpy spotted and tried to stop the Phoenix that was assisting Aslan's Army. Before it could reach the Phoenix, however, Peter managed to kill it with a spear he had picked up from a dead cyclops.

Trivia

 * In an earlier Version of the script for the 2005 Disney movie Adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe, harpies played a much bigger role with an added scene where Jadis awakened them from their dwelling; a dark, twisted, corrupted tree.
 * Harpies were only featured in the Disney adaption of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; they were never mentioned in the books or seen in the other films.
 * Harpies come from Greek Mythology. They are best known for constantly stealing all food from the prophet Phineus. The literal meaning of the word seems to be "that which snatches", as it comes from the Greek word harpazein (ἁρπάζειν), which means "to snatch".
