The Harpy is not just a piece, but a whole idea. Like in Shamanic Chess,
the piece can go in move-mode or in fight-mode. In move-mode, they are
more mobile and in fight mode, they can capture. You can make a whole
chess variant (or a 'Chess with Different Armies'-army. For example,
strong fighting pieces that can't move to any square in move-mode, but
for example just like a queen. Or pieces that have an effect when
deployed, but can't move then (fight-mode), for example the
Ultima/Rococo/Maxima-Immobilier (that does not immobilize in move-mode and
does not move in fight (immobilize)-mode. There are many possibilities.
